sMOKE & CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM REQUIREMENTS
One of the simplest and most effective ways to keep your home safe is to install smoke and carbon monoxide alarms throughout your house. Not only is this an important safety measure, but in many areas it's required by law. Additionally, the area you live may require that smoke alarms be updated every ten years.
Placement
It is recommended that you install at least one smoke and carbon monoxide detector on each level of your home. Both photoelectric and ionization smoke alarms should be used throughout your home to fully protect it from all types of fires. Because smoke rises, smoke detectors should be installed on your ceiling or high on your walls. If possible, ceiling-mounted detectors should be placed on the highest point on your ceiling and four inches away from any wall. Wall-mounted detectors should be placed several inches (but no more than a foot) away from the ceiling. You should have detectors installed in the following places:
• Inside and outside every bedroom
• In the basement (on the ceiling at the bottom of the steps)
• In the living room
• In main hallways between rooms
In order to avoid false alarms, you should avoid placing smoke detectors near anything that can produce large amounts of heat or steam. Place your detectors several feet away from kitchens, bathrooms, heating or cooling ducts and registers, ceiling fans, and windows.
