Smoke detectors are a crucial component of any home fire safety plan, but they have a limited lifespan. To ensure that your smoke detectors are always working properly, the National Fire Protection Association recommends replacing them every 10 years. In addition, it's important to test your new smoke detectors once a month and change the batteries every six months. Let Joe Filter help keep your family safe by installing and maintaining your smoke detectors.
