Time change: we check the alarms

During the night of November 2 to 3 November, 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.
