Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Save Lives!
You want to keep your family and loved ones safe at all times, right? Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors are the easiest and cheapest way to ensure their safety at home in the event of a fire, or a release of highly poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
Smoke detectors should be installed in every room in your home except the kitchen. You should test the batteries in your smoke detectors at least once every six months, and replace your detector every 5-10 years, or if the detector becomes defective.
Carbon monoxide detectors should be installed on every level of a home that has a sleeping area, and on the level that contains a carbon monoxide/heating source. Battery-powered detectors should be tested at least every 6 months. The device itself should be replaced every 5-10 years or if the detector becomes defective. You should always take all alarms and alerts seriously and call 911 immediately. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas, meaning you could be breathing it in and not even know it if you don’t have a detector!
