Now that some of us have sprung ahead an hour, it’s time to change the smoke detector batteries.

I was reminded of this fact during my son’s field trip to the fire department. Since the recommendation for smoke detectors is replacing the batteries twice a year, the fire department personnel suggests changing the batteries as we set our clocks forward and back during Daylight Savings.

Having set our clocks ahead an hour, I am due to get more batteries, so hubby can update our batteries in our smoke detectors.

Will you be joining us in changing your smoke detector batteries? Do you perform any other maintenance on your home around Daylight Savings time?
