Time to replace those smoke alarms?
Oct 18, 2009 Australia
The start of daylight savings time in Australia always prompts a reminder from the fire services to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors. Smoke detectors wear out over time and is a result should be replaced once they reach they reach the replacement age specified by the manufacturer. The ones in our house were several years past the replacement date so this year I purchased a pack of new ones and changed them all over.
