Decision guidance

Repair or replace?

Repair may make sense

Service may include replacing expired units, correcting wiring, installing compatible interconnected alarms, and verifying backup batteries.

Replacement may be considered

Alarm systems should be replaced when units are expired, damaged, incompatible, or unreliable.

Leave the property and call 911 if a carbon monoxide alarm sounds or occupants have symptoms. Do not assume the alarm is defective.
