they are a nightmare. I had them fitted as a requirement for a loft conversion. Mains connected with battery back up... they kept going off at weird times and I ended up taking the fuse out and relying on the battery back up... then they went funny too!!! I am having the whole system replaced soon so am using battery only smoke alarms in the meantime.

Must point out that sometimes them going off is caused by a build up of dust and they just need hoovering out with the hose attachment on your hoover
