Test it, change it, replace it - it might save your life!


  

  

    
    
            
              
Keeping your smoke alarms in good working order protects you and your family
against fire. By pressing the test button on your alarm you can check if the battery
in your smoke alarm is still charged and find out if your alarm is ready and working.
However, it is just too easy to forget this crucial test. We can offer to help
you by reminding you per email or SMS, and at your chosen frequency, to test your
smoke alarm regularly. 


We also offer a battery replacement reminder. Batteries should ideally be changed
before the alarm starts to give a low battery warning. Standard alkaline batteries should
be changed yearly, while lithium batteries usually require replacement after 5
years. The smoke alarm unit itself needs to be replaced after 10 years. Again,
we offer to send you a reminder after the 10 years. 


The service is entirely free and can be cancelled at any time. You have the choice
to receive reminders through Email, SMS and Twitter.

Smoke Alarms Testing Reminders

  

    
Fire Extinguisher Reminders

    

      Smoke alarms require routine testing to ensure that they function correctly when they are really needed. However, we tend to forget to carry out this test. This reminder service will remind you when your alarms need testing next time.      

      

        

        
Smoke Alarms Reminder Options

        
Please remind me to test my smoke alarm:

        

          
            

            

              
              
              
              
              
              
            

            
        
          		
        

        
Changing the batteries in my smoke alarm: 

        

          
            

              

              
            

            

          		
        

                  

            
              

              

                Replacing my smoke alarm
              

              

                If you would like us to send you a reminder, please enter the date your smoke alarm was installed. Smoke alarms generally have a 10 year lifespan and should be replaced after 10 years.  We will send you a reminder 10 years from the date you enter here.

      Disclaimer: We will always strive to deliver the reminders on time and on an ongoing basis. However, technical and human errors do occur. We can therefore not guarantee that your reminders will always be punctual. In the extreme they could even stop working altogether. For this reason you should not rely solely on our service. Please ensure that you maintain your own reminder diary for testing your fire safety equipment.
