A customer of mine had a similar experience.  He'd moved into a new house
and wouldn't you know...  every now and then a faint "beep" could be heard.
He thought it was the system smokes.  Nope...  AC smokes...  Nope...  It
turned out to be a battery operated smoke alarm.  Where do you think we
found it??  On top of the hot water tank.
