Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Batteries - help out an elderly or short neighbor!

It is end of day light savings time, time to "fall back", and most importantly time to change your smoke and carbon monoxide detector batteries.

It is a simple thing to do, but lots of times we skip over the simple things.

Don't let the simpleness of this task fool you into thinking it is not important.

If you have an elderly, really short, disabled, or busy neighbor, buy some extra batteries and when you change your your batteries, go and change theirs as well. I do it for my neighbors, as I can reach the ceiling a whole heck of a lot easier since I'm approximately a foot taller than they are!

This is also the time to change your furnace filters! Do it in conjunction with your batteries, and it will be easy to remember.

Stay safe and healthy, thanks to yourself and your good habits. Pass it on by helping someone who might need it.

I am a Putnamaniac because I try to help out someone who may need it and hopefully help keep us all safe and healthy!
