What is Smoke Detector?
A smoke detector is a device that senses smoke, typically as an indicator of fire. Smoke detectors are usually housed in plastic enclosures, typically shaped like a disk about 150 millimeters in diameter and 25 millimeters thick, but shape and size vary. Smoke can be detected either optically or by physical process.

How long do smoke detectors last?
Like coupons and canned goods, smoke alarms have an expiration date. “They have a life of 10 years,” Roux says. “But, if it has a built-in CO detector, you’ll need to replace it sooner.” According to Consumer Reports, most CO detectors come with a five- to seven-year warranty.
Can I replace the smoke detector myself?
Most hard-wired smoke detectors have a connection from the electrical wires to the smoke detectors that engage and disengage. It’s like a plug. This connection makes it simple to replace bad or old smoke detectors with new ones.
