One day, my hard wired smoke alarm went off, without any sign of fire or smoke. Everyone at home was shocked by a false alert. I had an idea about how to stop hard wired smoke alarm from beeping. I just got a step ladder and pressed the "Test/Silence" button on the front of the device. This stopped the beeping. However, I have shared a few fixes that you can opt for to stop your alarm from beeping.

How Do I Stop a Hardwired Smoke Alarm from Beeping?

To temporarily silence the alarm, press the Test/Silence button. If the alarm starts beeping after this you can follow these instructions:

  1. Turn the alarm counterclockwise to access the battery compartment, then replace the old battery, and replace the backup battery.

  2. You need to clean the unit. Debris and dust within can cause false alarms.

  3. To reset the alarm, disconnect the circuit breaker, take out the alarm, and then press and hold the test button for 15 seconds before putting it back in place.

A beeping hard wired smoke alarm is usually fixable with a reset, battery change, or cleaning. However, if you are unable to fix it by yourself, you can hire a professional to get it done.
