🔔 Smoke Alarm Safety Tips

• Replace 9‑volt batteries every year.

If your smoke alarm uses a 9‑volt battery, change the battery annually and replace the entire unit every 10 years to a lithium powered unit.

• Install additional smoke alarms where needed.

Add alarms in all bedrooms and in areas where battery‑powered devices are charged to increase early warning coverage.

Consider getting hardwired, interconnected alarm's installed- when one goes off, they all go off.

• Clean your smoke alarms regularly.

Dust or gently vacuum around the outside of the alarm’s cover to keep sensors clear and working properly.

• Pay attention to warning beeps.

If your smoke alarm emits a single, occasional beep, the battery may need replacing. If the beeping continues after changing the battery, the unit may be faulty and must be replaced.
