Time change: we check the alarms

During the night of October 31st to November 1st, clocks go backward one hour

For your safety and that of your loved ones, check your smoke alarms at least twice a year, perhaps at the spring and fall changeover of the clock. To do this, press the “Test” button on each alarm. In the case of battery-operated alarms, perform a battery change at the same time.

Whether battery or electric, alarms have a service life of 10 years. After this period, it becomes necessary to replace them with new models.
