Did you know your smoke detectors don't last forever?


In the event of a fire, properly installed and maintained smoke alarms will provide an early warning alarm to your household. This alarm could save your own life and your loved ones as well by providing the chance to escape. Did you know some Smoke Detectors need to be replaced a lot sooner then you may be thinking. The changes in temperatures and humidity play a major part of when you should be replacing your detectors.
