Q: A couple of years ago, we remodeled our house, and at the time, we had a hard-wired smoke alarm system put in. But it’s always going off intermittently and constantly. After hauling out ladders over and over again to fix the situation, we turned the entire system off. Right now, we have no smoke alarms.
A: That doesn’t sound like a good idea. So probably you should call another security or alarm system company to visit your house and make some changes. It sounds as if someone could have installed some very cheap and defective alarms. Check as well to see if your alarms are still under warranty.
