My house is 20 years old and it is a 1 1/2 story with a full basement. The gas furnace/water heaters are in the basement. Access to the basement is through the interior of the house and it's walk-out. I'm planning on totally replacing the smoke detectors, they are not hard wired. With this considered, how many battery operated smoke detectors should I get for my home? 2600 sq feet finished living space with a full unfinished basement. Where should I install the Carbon Monoxide detector?


Answer
Check with your local fire department and they will be GLAD to come to your house and show you where to put up all your detectors and also what type of fire extinguishers to have and where to hang them. And it's a good idea in another aspect...the fire department refreshes themselves on your location. They may also provide window stickers for bedrooms and pets.

I've seen conflicting information regarding the best place to put a carbon monoxide detector. Which is correct, near the floor or near the ceiling.?


Answer
well usually you want them fifteen feet from any fuel burning heating or cooking appliances because during start up a small amount is emitted. Bathrooms usually hold to much humidity so usually not there. Installation locations vary by manufacturer. since it is roughly the same weight as air If you have central air keep in mind during heating it may be contained in rising warm air. It is a good idea to have them within ten feet of every bedroom in your home and on each floor including your basement. Follow whatever the brand you buys instructions are because they are all tested specific in ways.
