Smoke Alarm Safety...

Age Matters!

Most of us know to change the smoke alarm batteries when we change the clocks for daylight savings, but do you know it might be time to change the whole alarm? Smoke alarms need to be replaced every 10 years. Every alarm is marked with a manufacturers date. Pull it off the ceiling and check the date - if it is 10 years or older it is time to replace.

Don't take the chance of having the alarm fail when your family needs it most - check the date today.
