Daylight Saving Time begins this Sunday, March 14th. At 02:00am clocks should be reset to 03:00am (“spring forward”). When you reset your clocks it is also a great time to change the batteries in your smoke detectors and CO detectors. Smoke detectors should be tested regularly and the batteries replaced twice a year to ensure they always have enough power to sound the alarm should it be needed. Be sure to test it after the new batteries are installed. While you’re changing the batteries check for a manufacture or install date on the detector. Most smoke detectors have a maximum functional life of 10 years, so you may want to consider replacing the entire detector if it’s approaching that age. If you are unsure about the age replace the unit with a new one.
