    Newly Built Homes: Buildings that are new (0-10 yrs old) often have hard-wired smoke detectors installed. If you haveone of these systems, they may require more than justthe recommended 6 month back-up batteryreplacement. The smoke detector itself, and not itsbattery, may require replacement. Please read yourmanual to call an electrician or contact you alarmcomplany if needed.
