Battery-powered alarms past their manufacture date swapped for new battery units, then every alarm in the house tested
Backup batteries changed in hardwired alarms and the test button pressed, with the wiring left untouched

How it works

Stand under each alarm between chirps to find the one that is sounding, and read the manufacture date on its back
Replace the battery, or the whole battery-powered unit if it is at end of life, from a properly set ladder
Press test on every alarm so the house is quiet and covered before guests arrive
Referred out: replacing or adding a hardwired or interconnected alarm goes to a licensed electrician
