Ok never mind, they look hard wired, I am going to see if they can be replaced with similar.

Is she renting a place? Cause in some Canadian provinces the landlord is required to have working smoke detectors installed.

This one at Canadian Tire has good reviews. I'd probably buy it if I was still living in Canada - https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/garrison-smoke-alarm-with-emergency-light-0460083p.html#Reviews

I was just in Canada a few days ago. I think I saw some hardwired smoke detectors on sale at Costco.

If she hasn't got one, she may want to be picking up a carbon monoxide detector to. And once again... some provinces in Canada - the landlord are required to install them in rentals.

Hi,
It's her own house, thanks for the suggestion.
