[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 555478"] YES!!! CJ is 100% correct. Smoke detectors lose their ability to "sniff" smoke after about 8-10 years. If you push the "test" button, the smoke detector will appear to test ok - but you are only "testing" the batteries/electrical connection and the siren. The sensor may very well have gone bad! Replace your detectors every 5-8 years. Many fire departments give out free detectors when the clocks are changed to/from daylight savings time. [/QUOTE]
