Daylight Saving Time and Smoke Detectors- 2nd try

[jonnythan]

Where is the "my smoke detectors don't have batteries" option?

i sleep with a rebreather on so I only wake when the PPo2 is lower than I want.

:lol:

I change smoke detectors once a year in each house, as I start my main occupancy.

December/January in Maui, October in California, June in Massachusetts. If I tried to time the battery changing by daylight savings time, I'd be even more confused than I am now.

Maybe you ought to get one smoke detector and take it with you everywhere you go.

For detectors that rely solely on battery power, it's best to change them twice a year, and doing so on the time change is the easiest way for me to remember.

I pick up a pair at the $1 store. Small price for safety.

Oh yes, mine saved me once.

Batteries - even the expensive kind are cheaper than a deductable on a homeowners/renters insurance claim -- or what it will go up to when you make said claim.

Somehow this does not come as a huge shock --
