• Change Your Smoke Alarm Batteries

Replace old batteries with fresh, high quality batteries to keep your smoke alarm ready to protect you.

• Test Your Smoke Alarms

After inserting fresh batteries in your smoke alarm, make sure the alarm is working by activating the safety test button.  We recommend that you test all of your smoke alarms monthly.

• Clean Your Smoke Alarm

To help keep your smoke alarm in good working condition, we recommend that you gently vacuum once a monthly to remove dust and cobwebs.

• Replace Your Old Smoke Alarms

• Smoke alarms need to be replaced every 6 - 10 years (see manufacturer's instructions).  If you are unsure how old your smoke alarm is, err on the side of caution and replace it.  New smoke alarms are stamped or labeled with a date.
