TOTALLY DIFFERENT SUBJECT:
SMOKE/CO2 DETECTORS:
Our two began chirping recently. They're hardwired but I checked the batteries anyway and changed them though they tested ok. One began chirping again, damn!
I asked Chat GPT if hardwired detectors "die"? Answer was yes and that smoke detectors last about 10 years. Co2 ones last 5-7 years. Our house was totally remodeled by prior owner in 2015, we bought in 2020. So ours have apparently expired and a trip to Home Cheapo should resolve this issue.
HOPEFULLY, I'll find replacements that are strictly plug 'n play, fingers crossed. I can't reach overhead with the bad shoulder anymore. Well, I can but yeeoouch!
