Let us remind you to test your alarms

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

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.
