[lsvr_definition_item title=”Is it really necessary to replace the battery every year?”]

Yes, of course. If the battery is faulty or no longer works and there is a fire, you are more likely to suffer from injuries or death. The battery only needs to be replaced once a year so if you can remember to change your clock back for daylight savings, change the battery at this time too!:)

[lsvr_definition_item title=”How do i wire a smoke detector?”]

It is best to not install a smoke detector yourself! You need an electrician to hard wire the smoke detector as you would be touching 240 volts and is very dangerous if you do not know what you are doing! For your own safety, call your electrician!

[lsvr_definition_item title=”My Smoke Alarm will not stop beeping and i have changed the battery?”]

If you have changed the battery and the smoke alarm is still making the annoying beeping sound, it may be faulty. It is best to get your electrician to access the problem and replace it if need be.
