Remember to Change Your Clocks, Check Your Alarms on Nov. 1
On Sunday, November 1, 2020 daylight savings time ends. This is a great time to Change Your Clocks, Check Your Alarms. As you go around your home changing the clocks, check that all your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are working. Any smoke alarms that are more than 10 years old need to be replaced. Unless you have an alarm with a 10-year sealed battery, this is a good time to change the battery. Even hard wired alarms have back-up batteries that need changing.
