Granted many Villagers should not be climbing ladders. That's why I suggested that a neighbor, friend or handyman do it for those who prefer not to climb. With the average home having 6-7 sensors...that's over a quarter million battery replacements that have to be done yearly. Again, if I couldn't climb, I'd rather have a handyman do it for me rather than take time away from our emergency response providers.
I know I may be stubborn (my wife surely thinks I am) but I would think changing batteries should be considered a maintainance item the same as having your dryer vent cleaned which we should be responsible for having done. |

BTW, I was a volunteer fireman for about 5 years and believe it may have been in the district where you currently live in Clifton Park. I'm not quite sure though since I belive (IIRC) that you're located close to the Clifton Park - Halfmoon fire district line. I was in the Clifton Park Fire Department District. |
I'm wondering why hard wired detectors are not installed when the homes are built. My current home, built in 1979 had hard wired smoke detectors in several locations. No need to ever change batteries and you get a discount on your home insurance as well. I do not believe it would be too expensive to have a hard wired system installed. Do anyone know if that is an option when you buy your home in TV?

Guess what....
