Replace smoke alarms every 10 years. Check the manufacture date on the back of the unit to track its age.
When should I replace the batteries in my smoke alarm?
Replace batteries at least once a year, unless you have a 10-year sealed battery smoke alarm. A chirping sound often indicates a low battery.
How do I know if my smoke alarm is working?
Press and hold the test button. A loud beep or siren should sound. If it doesn’t, check the batteries or replace the unit.
