You should not attempt to disable a smoke alarm unless you’ve already activated a replacement unit. To stop a hardwired smoke alarm from beeping, reset the device or silence the alarm. If you’re removing a hardwired alarm, shut off the power, turn the unit counterclockwise to remove it from the ceiling, and disconnect the wiring.

Yes, it’s worth capping a chimney. Here are several reasons to install a chimney cap:

• Keep out rain, snow, wildlife, and other debris

• Help prevent chimney fires

• Reduce your chimney’s exposure to moisture

• Maintain your chimney flue liner

• Help reduce energy bills by helping regulate your home’s temperature

Smoke detectors come in two different options: hardwired or battery-operated. While hardwired units are attached directly to the home’s electrical system, a battery-operated smoke detector only needs a simple battery for operation and can be placed virtually anywhere in your home. Some homeowners may mistakenly think their battery-operated units are hardwired in because all their units are interconnected, but many battery-operated units can operate within a smoke alarm network in your home.
