It's officially the season of gratitude, good food, and your November Homeowner Checklist! ✔️

With cold weather creeping in and furnaces and fireplaces cranking up, this is an excellent time to test your smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to ensure they function properly. Start the holidays knowing your family, guests, and home are safe!

📣 Friendly reminder: Smoke detectors typically only last about 10 years, so if you are unsure how old the ones are in your home, it's probably time to replace them! Technology has come a long way, so pick up a few with a 10-year lithium battery so you never have to deal with the battery replacement beeping again!

What are you tackling first?
