How long should my Carbon Monoxide Detectors last?

Atronic Alarms recommends replacing your carbon monoxide detectors every five to six years. The devices will "beep" every six minutes after they reach their end-of-life cycle.

In addition, if your hardwired smoke detectors are beeping then they are electrician installed devices and their batteries need to be replaced. Atronic Alarms hardwired smoke detectors do not beep because their battery backup is in the panel.

Sometimes Atronic Alarms will install wireless smoke detectors. If they start to beep then that means their batteries are low. Contact the Central Monitoring Station at 913.432.4545 to put your system on "test" mode before you change the batteries. Have your user password ready.
