How often should I test my smoke detectors?

Test your detectors monthly by pressing the test button to ensure they're functioning properly.

Are interconnected smoke detectors better?

Yes, interconnected detectors enhance safety by ensuring all alarms sound simultaneously when one is triggered, providing earlier warning.
