Ours went off middle of the night a couple of months ago...husband and I jumped out of bed switched lights on as we went to find fire......teenagers ????.....slept right through it all....we checked the whole house nothing, the alarm had stopped itself after a min or so......next morning kids didn't believe us......and yes it's one of those sealed 10 yr units which was right outside the bedrooms.

I have a friend who switches off the heating when she goes out AND pulls out all the plugs when she goes to bed...... because that is what her parents did.

My last posting was a joke.

We guessed that ;-)

I put my own smoke alarm between the kitchen and living room - it was always going off :-(
Then, (years ago) the council provided one - and a carbon monoxide alarm.
The smoke alarm was relocated to the landing - much better!!
It's gone off once - when I was cooking Christmas dinner for the whole family!
No smoke, but lots of condensation.

The initial large carbon monoxide alarm was in the living room (open fire). It's since been changed for a smaller one - and another has been added to the airing cupboard (where the boiler is)
