It is generally recommended to replace smoke detectors every 10 years. It is also a good idea to test smoke detectors monthly to ensure that they are functioning properly. As for the batteries, it is generally recommended to change the batteries in your smoke detectors at least once a year, or as needed if the battery indicator alerts you that the battery is low.  It is a good idea to replace the batteries before getting woken up in the middle of the night by the dreaded “chirping” noise of your smoke detector warning you of a low battery.

If you are unsure about how often to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors, you should consult the manufacturer's recommendations or refer to the owner's manual.

What are the risks of not replacing your smoke detectors?

​There are several risks associated with not replacing your smoke detectors:

1. Life safety: Smoke detectors are an essential part of any home's fire safety system. They are designed to alert you and your family to the presence of smoke, allowing you to evacuate your home before a fire spreads. If your smoke detectors are not working properly, you may not be alerted to a fire, which could put your life at risk.
2. Property damage: In the event of a fire, the earlier you are alerted to the presence of smoke, the more time you have to evacuate your home and call the fire department. If your smoke detectors are not working properly, the fire may spread more quickly, resulting in more extensive property damage.
3. Legal and insurance issues: Some states and municipalities have laws requiring that homes have working smoke detectors. If you do not have working smoke detectors in your home, you may be in violation of these laws, which could result in fines. Additionally, if you do not have working smoke detectors in your home and there is a fire, your insurance company may not cover the damages.

Overall, it is important to regularly test and replace your smoke detectors to ensure that they are working properly and protecting you and your family from the risks of fire.
