Changing a smoke alarm is an important residence security process that ensures the well-being of your family. Smoke alarms are designed to detect smoke, a telltale signal of a fireplace, and emit a loud, piercing sound to alert occupants, giving them valuable time to evacuate.
Smoke alarms must be changed each 10 years or in line with the producer’s directions. Failure to switch ageing smoke alarms can compromise their skill to detect smoke successfully, doubtlessly resulting in tragic penalties.
