Set Back Your Clocks and Check Your Smoke Alarms

Set Back Your Clocks and Check Your Smoke Alarms

As we adjust to shorter daylight hours and disrupted sleep patterns, it’s important to prioritize a critical safety measure: ensuring that your smoke alarms are functioning properly. 

Changing the batteries in your smoke alarm or replacing the entire unit if it is over 10 years old can be a life-saving choice for you or a loved one. Smoke alarms offer early warning in the event of a fire, providing you with vital seconds to escape. However, this life-saving feature is only effective if the alarms are properly maintained.
