Spring forward! Change alarm batteries March 8
|
Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour when
Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, March 8. It's also a great time to check your smoke alarm battery and carbon monoxide detector battery, as many need replacing every six months.
Check the manufacturer date of your smoke alarms while changing your batteries. It is recommended that you replace your smoke alarms every 10 years. You can find the manufacturer date on the bottom side of the detector, usually on a sticker, located near the battery compartment.
