Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are life-saving pieces of equipment. Every home should be equipped with multiple smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to help ensure the safety of the home’s occupants and guests.
- If possible, set up smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors on a network, so that when one alarm goes off, all detectors go off.
- If your detectors are not hardwired into the house, check their batteries every month and replace the batteries once a year, at the same time of year.
- When installing a detector in your home, follow all the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure proper functioning.
- Install alarms on every level of the home, in every bedroom and guest bedroom, and outside every sleeping area of the house.
