Good rule of thumb. Change your smoke detector batteries in October which is Fire Prevention month. Once a year is good and it's not going to break the bank. As for detectors they don't last forever. I also have 2 in my garage. 1 smoke and 1 combo again small price to pay. I also had a second system installed that alerts me by phone IF there is a fire or smoke condition in my home.
The Villages Fire Department DOES NOT want you changing your batteries they WILL come out and do that for and and check your detectors at the same time. There phone # is 352-205-8280. That is the NON EMERGENCY #
