As the ground begins to thaw and the flowers start to bloom, it's time once again to reset our home for a new year! Soon we'll be moving our clocks forward and tidying our spaces, but one task that can't be overlooked is replacing the batteries around our homes. Regularly ensuring that important items like smoke/fire alarms have working batteries is imperative to keeping your home and loved ones safe throughout the entire year. Check out these simple tips to prepare your home for the new year:

• Ensure you have smoke alarms in every bedroom on every level of your home.
• Place smoke alarms away from doors, windows, walls, or air ducts that could prevent them from functioning properly.
• Check the effectiveness of your smoke alarm monthly, ensuring batteries are working and alarms are in the appropriate areas.
• Replace the batteries in your smoke alarms yearly, or more if necessary
