Attic Fire Alarm Won't Stop Going Off...Hardwired to house

[Steve DellaPelle]

Hello,

I have woken up several times in the middle of the night to the sound of my fire alarm going off upstairs in the vacant attic. The detector is hardwired to the house so I am unsure of how to disconnect it. It will also go off randomly during the day when I am at work and my tenants have mentioned it to me.

There are clearly no signs of smoke or a fire and yet it is still going off. Anyone have a similar issue? Who do I call to fix this?

Thanks,
Steve

@Steve DellaPelle if it is a CO alarm and you suspect a CO leak, I would call the gas company and have them send someone out asap. more than likely, they will try to find the leak and do a temporary fix until a GC can come out and permanently fix the issue. CO will kill you slowly and it doesn't have a smell. I would make sure when your up there you open up all the windows and don't stay up there long. its best to have someone by the door just in case you pass out, they can pull your body out. I know it sounds ridiculous but that's how CO works. you will get sleepy and just pass out. after a while of your body not getting O2, you will die. if you want to check, you can get a hand held CO detector from lowes or home depot and take it up there with you.
