(NC)—In a bid to save energy, North Americans will change their clocks to Daylight Saving Time three weeks early in 2007. Instead of the usual "spring forward" move of clocks ahead one hour happening the first Sunday in April, the ritual will take place on the second Sunday of March, March 11, at 2:00 a.m.
Remember that when you change your clocks, it is also a perfect time to change the batteries in your smoke alarms and CO alarms. As well, check to ensure your smoke alarms are not over 10 years old and your CO alarms are not over 7 years old. If they are, their sensors are past their recommended life and the alarms must be replaced. This applies to both battery operated and alarms hard-wired into the electrical system of your home.
