Saturday evening, as you change clocks, is a good time to change the batteries in your smoke detectors and test thier operation. It is also a good time to verify the age of the detector; many have a limited operational lifetime.

In our Fire district, we recommend changing batteries and doing a functional test at each time change.

Great advice Robert, I'll be sure to pass it along.

Yep, very good advice, Robert, and I'll admit to being one of those who forgets to check those things, so I decided to go ahead and do it today. Thanks for the reminder.

About 5 years ago I switched to this type, as it needs no batteries I don't have to remember to change them
