Hidden Dangers in Your Home: Test Your Smoke Detectors!

Ever noticed that little red or green light up close to the ceiling in your bedroom? If not you may be on the track of discovering danger number two. Failed or missing smoke detectors! That’s right. The NFPA has suggested time and time again the importance of proper placement of smoke detectors in a residential setting as well as proper maintenance. Just like the GFCI listed above there are maintenance and testing requirements for smoke detectors as well. One of the most important things you can do is test and replace your batteries at least twice a year. Many agencies suggest doing this each time you adjust your clocks for daylight saving time. No matter when you do it make sure to test the units per the manufacturer instructions to ensure reliable operation.
