      Has anyone ran into a problem with hardwired Kidde smoke alarms? We have a new subdivision that the alarms are going off for no reason. Any information would be appreciated

      so what i was told was that if they are installed properly (there is a sequence to installing and interconnecting them) they will do that. i have run into it numerous times over the last couple of months

      Agreed with Nick. I learned of that problem about a year ago from one of my landlords that did a renovation.  He found it buried in the fine print of the installation manual.

      That being said, Kidde is the most common alarm in our new homes and haven’t had any issues there….maybe those electricians are aware of the process?
