Time change tonight! As we spring forward, it's a good time to change your batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (even if they are hardwired to your home).

Also, it's a good idea to check the date code on the back of each detector. For smoke alarms, 10 years is the recommended lifespan. For CO detectors, 7 years is the recommended lifespan. If you have questions, give us a call!

Mark your calendars! Come join us for our annual pancake breakfast on April 14 at 7 AM. Serving hot, delicious pancakes until noon.
