Smoke detectors are an essential part of any home fire safety plan. They can provide early warning of a fire, giving you and your family time to escape safely. However, smoke detectors have a limited lifespan. Over time, the sensors in smoke detectors can become less sensitive, making them less effective at detecting smoke. Additionally, the batteries in smoke detectors can degrade, leading to false alarms or no alarms at all.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that smoke detectors be replaced every 10 years. This will help ensure that your smoke detectors are always working properly and can provide you with the early warning you need to escape a fire safely.

Here are some tips for changing your smoke detectors:

1. Check the back of each smoke detector for the manufacture date.

2. If the smoke detector is more than 10 years old, replace it.

3. When replacing your smoke detectors, make sure to install them in the same locations as the old ones.

4. Test your new smoke detectors once a month to make sure they are working properly.

5. Change the batteries in your smoke detectors every six months.

6. By following these tips, you can help keep your family safe from fire.
