01 Nov ⏰ Fall Back, Check Alarms! 🔥
Daylight saving time ends Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025 — when you set your clocks back, take a minute to check your smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms too!
✅ Replace batteries and test alarms monthly
✅ Install alarms in every bedroom and on every level
✅ Replace alarms over 10 years old
✅ Interconnect alarms so when one sounds, they all do
💡 Illinois law now requires most homes to use 10-year sealed battery smoke alarms — no more yearly battery changes, and they can save you money in the long run!
Keep your home and family safe this fall. 🍂
