Replacing fire alarms

questionmark

Just realised the fire alarms in my place expired last year so I need to replace them, my problem is I'm not sure what I need to buy. What I currently have seems to be wired into the ceiling, could any one help me out with recommendations or a link for what I need to buy. I tried looking online but I can't seem to figure out if they will fit my current system or not. Buying from Amazon or somewhere would be most convenient for me.

Thanks in advance:)

Thanks:) I did come across them, they seem quite expensive...but maybe it's necessary. I'm clueless

30 euro is small money for the job it does and the peace of mind knowing it's there.

I have got to change everyone in the house, so it adds up. Didn't realise they needed to be changed every 10 years. Definitely very important just an unexpected cost.

The 8 EUR smoke detectors off Wish and Amazon make the 30 EUR ones look expensive alright. That is until you need them.

try your local electrical wholesaler, that's where the ones in your house probably came from originally.

I replaced all mine a few years ago, I had to rewire the connectors for the mains link as I couldn't find any that used the same type of connector, but it's not a huge job.

Likewise

Ya i saw on some Amazon reviews that the purchased alarms were well into the 10yr life period

Some EI alarms that were a little cheaper than they should be .
