Monthly checks
- Test your smoke alarm and any carbon monoxide detector monthly by pressing the button. If the alarm doesn’t sound, replace the battery – or contact us immediately if you have a mains-powered smoke alarm fitted, so we can arrange to fix it. This is the most important check you can do to protect yourself from fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Replace the batteries each year or when the alarm sounds to show the batteries are running low.
- Consider fitting extra battery-powered alarms in the centre of the ceiling – away from any lights.
