They are probably both about the same age and need replacing. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors have a finite lifespan, no matter how often you change the batteries. Fortunately they're not all that expensive, just get new ones. I had the same problem in my apartment last year, and the carbon monoxide detector was over 10 years old. So they just replaced it, problem solved.
Nice theory but it's disproven by OP's initial text
I think he's trying to say that maybe they sent me a new detector that was just as old as the old one, but they didn't
Interestingly enough, smoke detectors get more sensitive as they get older, but eventually they just stop working.
If your smoke detectors go off every time you cook, it's time to replace them.
I've had the first detector for like 5 years and the second had a manufacture date from about a year ago
