I recently had a debate with a person who shall remain nameless and owns a purple car. We disagreed on the most common time to change smoke alarm batteries. Please participate in this poll to help prove that I am right. If you do not wish to participate - please accept this as a reminder to take a few minutes to check the batteries in your smoke alarms to protect your home and family.
Thanks - Pam |

The official answer is: test once a month and change the batteries during Fire Prevention week.
Which is October 7-13, this year. It is also a good idea to vacume the dust out of them at this time too. One alarm per level is recommended. A CO2 detector is recommended also. So you wake up the next day when your furnace malfunctions. If you have any gas fired appliance (water heater, cook stove) in your home you should have one. Note*..A quick look on the net shows their are several recommendations as to when to change your batteries....some say twice a year when the times change (recommended by a battery company). Others say once a year in the fall when time changes, another says spring time when the time changes. All say test once a month. |
