Clocks go back today. Test your CO alarms while you’re at it!
Carbon monoxide has no color or smell, so a working alarm is the best way to know it’s there. Here’s what to check:
Test each alarm using the manufacturer’s instructions.
Replace batteries if needed (unless it has a sealed battery).
Check the expiration date and replace the unit when required.
Schedule recommended maintenance for your heating equipment.
If an alarm sounds, get everyone outside into fresh air and call 911 from a safe location. Don’t go back in until emergency responders say it’s safe.
A comfortable home should also be a safe home. Did you test yours today?
