How to Choose the Best Smoke Detector for Your Home

The Importance of Testing and Replacing the Batteries in Your Smoke Detector
At least once a year you should clean smoke detectors with a vacuum. To do this you should open the cover and vacuum all of the dust and debris which can affect the detection of smoke or fire. Once your smoke detector is over ten years old you should replace it with a new one right away. Every six months you should replace the batteries to keep the unit working at peak efficiency. As a reference you can write the date on a piece of tape and place it on the side of the detector.
