This is a timely reminder to test and maintain your smoke alarms.
Test:
Push the test button on an alarm with your finger or a broom handle.
If it beeps, it is working.
If it doesn’t beep, you need to replace the battery or get a new smoke alarm.
Clean:
At least once a year dust your smoke alarm to remove any dust or cobwebs that can build up and stop it from working.
Battery:
Replace the 9V battery annually. Most modern smoke alarms have a 10year battery that doesn’t need replacing. After 10 years replace the smoke alarm.
