Yeah, thats not what I am saying. I know all smoke alarms must be replaced every 10 years to be up to code. Some have a 10 year battery so you don't have to shovel out for new batteries every year. I never said a smoke alarm can last longer than 10 years. What he was saying above is that they standardized 12 years ago for sound of devices, meaning if people follow the code (most people don't unless it is brought to their attention at the time of selling a home) every home should have standard smoke alarms installed for hearing aid comparability. I currently have a couple of 10 year sealed units in the bedrooms because Costco had some on sale about a year ago, I just want the rest of the house to interact with our security system to call the fire department in one form or another if there is an incident. If that be via a listener, or via a z wave or interconnected model, that's what I am researching right now for my situation.
In closing, yes replace your fire alarms every ten years at the longest.
