Replace Old Smoke Alarms

​It’s become common practice to change the batteries in your smoke alarm when you change your clocks as daylight saving time begins and ends. But, it’s also important to know that, according to the National Fire Protection Association, smoke alarms themselves should be replaced after 10 years.

​Today, one of our technicians came across this smoke alarm that may have been the original one installed when the home was built decades ago. Our technician removed it and installed new Nest Protect smoke/CO alarms for the homeowner. ​

Some advantages to Nest Protect smoke/CO alarms:
  • Nest Protect automatically checks its batteries and sensors over 400 times per day. Once a month, Nest Protect can also perform an automatic Sound Check to test its speaker and horn. And, you can run a full Safety Checkup any time, so you know your Nest Protects are interconnected and so you can listen to the speaker and horn for yourself.
  • Each night when you turn out the lights you’ll get a quick green glow which means the batteries and sensors of the Nest Protect are working.
  • You can check the battery status of the Nest Protect on your smartphone.
  • When the Nest Protect has less than about a year of battery life remaining, it will give you a warning that the batteries are getting low. Nest Protect will pulse yellow when you turn off the lights at night and after you press the Nest button it will say: “The battery is low. Replace the battery soon.” You will also receive a message in the Nest app.

For more information about having Nest Protects installed for you by an AvidWorks Technology technician, send email to [email protected] or call (800) 701-9021 for details.
