My smoke alarm is beeping every minute?

I thought it meant change the battery, however, i opened it up and it looks like wires go up into the ceiling? Cant actually take the top off as its attached by wires. Anyone have any ideas of this? Its really starting to get on my wick!

    You have an up-to-date fire alarm installed. Some units have batteries as a back-up for when the power is switched off - you do not. You have an alarm that contains a back-up but with no access to its internal device. The beeping is telling you to change the whole unit, they are simple to change and cost about £20 and are guaranteed for ten years. Your local electrical shop or builders merchant (cheapest) will advise you. The alarms must be on their own dedicated circuit.

    if there isnt a fire anywhere i your house then its probably broken I think you should call up your company and ask them if it can be replaced and someone should hopefully come and get it down for you or tell you how to.

    hope it helped..
