Safety Tips - Smoke Detectors
|
The National Fire Protection Association estimates that about one-third of all residential smoke detectors in the United States do not work properly. To make sure you don’t have one of those malfunctioning units, follow these useful tips:
| • | Test your detector: | Experts recommend that you should run a test of every detector in your house anywhere from once a week to once a month. All units should have an easily-accessible test button.
| | • | Check your batteries: | You should check your batteries every six months, and change them every year. A good rule of thumb is to check the batteries when you turn your clocks ahead in the spring, and then change the batteries when you turn your clocks back in the fall. If a battery is starting to lose its power, the unit will usually chirp to warn you.
| | • | Don’t ignore false alarms: | Smoke detectors don’t just sound for no reason. If your unit seems to have more than its share of unfounded false alarms, replace it.
| | • | Keep your detectors clean: | At least once a year, vacuum or blow out any dust that might accumulate inside the unit and in the slats on the outside cover.
| | • | NEVER borrow a battery: | NEVER borrow a battery from an alarm to use somewhere else. You might forget to replace it, or the battery might get worn down faster from the other appliance.
| | • | NEVER paint a smoke detector: | Painting a unit can block the vents in the cover, preventing smoke from getting to the sensors.
| | • | Replace your smoke detectors: | Replace your smoke detectors every ten years.
