  • In my case I did a round of battery replacements about a year ago to get them all synced after a couple annoying staggered battery replacement chirps, so I’m familiar with the codes. There was one of these that did the 3 chirps late last year and I got that warrantied successfully, so based on that experience I went ahead with replacing this one.











  • I had the exact same situation during Uri in 2021 following 36 hours of no power and dripping faucets, Houston area. Unfortunately I’d only been dripping cold water faucets due to bad advice and not yet understanding the mechanics of the plumbing system. Once I discovered the freeze I opened the faucet fully and once power was restored I set a space heater pointed to the pipes underneath the sink and eventually it started flowing again. No damage but we have pex which are supposed to be more resilient to freezing incidents. Since then I’ve dripped both sides and always treated that area with care in freezes since as that proved that was the weakest link.
