Product Overview
Proper installation of smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors is crucial for ensuring the safety of your home. Smoke detectors should be installed on every level of your home, including the basement and the attic, if it is used as a living space. Place detectors inside each bedroom and outside each sleeping area to provide early warning in the event of a fire. They should be mounted on the ceiling or high on the wall, as smoke rises. Avoid placing them near kitchens or bathrooms where steam and cooking fumes might trigger false alarms.
For carbon monoxide detectors, it’s important to install them in areas where they can detect CO effectively. Place a CO detector near sleeping areas, so the alarm will wake you if CO levels become dangerous while you’re asleep. Install additional detectors on each level of your home, especially near or above potential sources of CO, such as gas appliances and heaters. Like smoke detectors, CO detectors should be installed on the wall or ceiling, but avoid placing them in high humidity areas like bathrooms or directly next to fuel-burning appliances.
Ensure that both types of detectors are installed according to the manufacturer's instructions and local building codes for optimal performance. Regularly test and maintain your detectors, and replace batteries or units as recommended to keep your home safe from fire and carbon monoxide hazards.
