My smoke detectors continue to chirp (sometimes very quietly and other times at full 'chirp' volume) throughout the day. I have replaced every single battery in all 7 smoke detectors. This occurs mostly during the day but will sometimes, very rarely, occur at night. It will also very rarely occur with the down-stairs detectors. The house was built in 2008 and has the type of smoke detectors that are all wired together. The majority (90%) of the chirping occurs in the up-stairs smoke detectors (multiple ones, not a single). They can usually be silenced by pressing the silent button (I think thats what it says on it).
Is this related to a temperature indifference in the house? We keep our up-stairs zone/thermostat set to a considerably warmer (+5 degrees) temperature.
These things are about to drive me and my dogs crazy.
Does anyone have any idea what may be going on? Do you know of any kind of a fix?
P.S. The smoke detector in the stairwell does not have an adjustable temp setting on it on the back of it allowing for a range non-detect increases in temperature.

Just had to replace all of mine a couple of days ago because the alarm would go off about every 2 hours. Mine were 20 years old and were the original smoke alarms that were installed when We built our house. I replaced them with First Alert smoke alarms. They have a 10 year warranty.

We don't have natural gas in the house but I guess I can't rule that out entirely. They chirp very inconsistently.

If you have replaced the battery and they have power then replace them

Push and hold the test button, testing each detector in the house individaully and just let it go off. That should reset it with them all with them being wired in sequence. Had the same issue at my house. Took me weeks to figure it out. No logical reason why that would do it but that's what finally worked for me. Also, are you 100% positive you didnt miss one and have checked every one in your house? I continually missed one in the stairwell going up to my trophy room and it was the one causing the problems. every time i change a battery i have to test the alarm to reset it or it will just keep chirping
