A regular smoke alarm safety check is the easiest way to protect your home—working smoke alarms cut your risk of dying in a home fire in half.
Roughly three out of five home fire deaths happen in properties with no smoke alarms or alarms that do not work. Follow this complete step-by-step checklist to ensure your home is fully protected.
The 3-Step Testing RoutineTest Once a Month:
* Press and hold the "Test" button on each unit. You should hear a series of very loud, piercing beeps. If the alarm is quiet or weak, replace the batteries immediately.
* Swap Batteries: If your alarms use standard 9-volt batteries, replace them once a year. A great reminder is to change them when you turn your clocks back or forward for Daylight Saving Time.
* Check the Expiration Date: Smoke alarms do not last forever. Look at the back of the device for the manufacture date and replace the entire unit every 10 years.📍
Proper Placement Around the HouseEvery Level:
* Install at least one alarm on every floor of your house, including the basement.
* Sleeping Areas: Put an alarm inside every single bedroom and in the hallway right outside the bedrooms.
* High on Walls or Ceilings: Smoke rises, so mount your alarms flat on the ceiling. If you must put them on a wall, keep them within 12 inches of the ceiling.
* Keep Away from Kitchens: To avoid annoying false alarms while cooking, make sure devices are placed at least 10 feet away from stoves and appliances.
