Usually the battery is low: Kidde says a low-battery alarm chirps every 30 to 40 seconds, or every 60 seconds on some models. On a sealed-battery model, a chirp every 30 seconds can mean the whole alarm has reached end of life and needs to be replaced, not just the battery.
No, leave a working battery in it. The U.S. Fire Administration says a smoke alarm with a dead or missing battery is the same as having no smoke alarm at all. Put in a fresh battery and press test instead.
Yes for the backup battery, no for the wiring. The U.S. Fire Administration says to replace a hardwired alarm's backup battery at least once a year, and that only qualified electricians should install hardwired smoke alarms. A handyman can swap the battery; a failed hardwired unit goes to an electrician.
If the alarm is sounding a full, continuous alarm instead of a single chirp, get everyone out and call 911 first. 24/7 Express Handyman Service can come tonight for a chirp that is too high to reach, so no one has to climb a ladder with guests on the way.
Every job 24/7 Express Handyman Service takes on is under $3,000 including labor, materials and any change orders (Utah Code §58-55-305); a change that would push a job over that line is referred to a licensed contractor, not written up as a second job. plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas appliance / combustion system work is referred to a licensed trade.
