Default How old is too old for a smoke detector ?

I have a condo and it has the original smoke detectors, FireX. Probably about 20 years old. they don't take batteries, that's probably why they have not received much attention. The are hardwired to AC with a signal wire to the other 2 detectors. Don't believe they are on a separate circuit, should they be ?

Should they be replaced ?

Recommendations !?

Thanks


I'd say if they work they should be OK.
It's carbon monoxide detectors that have expiration dates.
