Smell gas?
(NC)—We replace all sorts of things in our homes on a regular basis. So why is it so hard to remember that smoke (and carbon monoxide) alarms need to be replaced too? They are working
24/7/365 so it makes sense that they don’t last forever. Fire safety officials remind us to replace all smoke alarms every 10 years. For CO alarms, they need to be replaced every 7-10 years depending
