I changed ALL the batteries in my smoke detectors and it is still beeping every minute or so. What next?

Answer
Might be dirty. If you have an air compressor sitting around, try blowing it out. Otherwise try a vacuum. Or maybe it is defective.

Also I remember that if your smoke detector combines a carbon monoxide detector, they are designed to fail* after 7 or 10 years. So it might be beeping for that reason.

*As I remember this is due to the chemical makeup of the sensor.

Answer
well i don't know the layout of your residence - but you need to monitor every first floor opening (doors and windows) AND any opening on any other floor accessible without the use of a ladder longer then 8 feet or so. I doubt 4 contacts will do that in any residence (i could be wrong - it depends on your situation) - i think that's where the 'add-ons' comes in.

I would go with ADT - they usually have the top of the line hardware and their monitoring is top-notch.

I had several estimates when getting my system installed - no one offered the hardware free - if they do offer it free - it probably comes with a clause that you have to go with their monitoring for so many years and it will probably be more expensive in the long run considering all of the discounts you're getting
