This weekend November 2 2008 is the end of the Daylight Saving Time. As we change our clocks, it is also a good reminder to change the batteries in our smoke alarms.
It is important to have fresh batteries in our smoke alarms so they can continue protecting us and our families.
Here are things to look for when replacing batteries and maintaining your smoke alarms.
If you have a smoke alarm with batteries:
*Smoke Alarms powered by long-lasting batteries are designed to replace the entire unit according to manufacturer’s instructions.
*In standard type battery powered smoke alarms, the batteries need to be replaced at least once per year and the whole unit should be replaced every 8-10 years.
*In hard-wired, battery back up smoke alarms, the batteries need to be checked monthly, and replaced at least once per year. The entire unit should be replaced every 8-10 years.
