Take a minute to check on your smoke detectors. It can save you and your family in case of a fire.

Have you checked your smoke detectors lately? No? It’s so quick and easy! Check your detectors with us!

First, if you’re not able to reach the detectors, grab a small stepping stool or ladder like our marketing rep Nancy in the photo. And of course, put on your banana heels while you’re at it! After, on the smoke detector should be a small test button. Press & hold the test button & after a few seconds you should hear a loud ear-piercing siren. Did you lose your hearing? That means your detector is working properly! If you don’t hear the siren or if it sounds weak it could be that you need to replace the batteries. As you can see ours is working fine!

Functional smoke detectors are very important to have in your home. They can help warn your family in time in case there is a fire this way you can safely exit the home.  According to the National Fire Protection Association three out of five home fire deaths are a result from fires without working smoke detectors.
