At times, the present detector's alarm sounds for no reason and must be replaced. I'd like to do it myself and avoid the expenses of a professional. I know how to shut off the electricity at the site and have all necessary tools.
Answer
Call an electrician if you mess up the detector will not work this could be very dangerous. It isn't like wiring a light if you mess up a light it just wont work you mess up this and the smoke will fail to sound during a fire.
If you don't know how to do it how do you know you have the tools you need.
********"Hi i am glad to me you" has no clue what he is taking bout there in no positive or negative wiring in a house. Electrical tape is almost never to be used for a permanent connection it will dry out with age and loose it adhesive leave the wire exposed to arcing and become a fire hazard. In the rare case tape is use for a permanent connection(burndies for very large wires in industrial setting) it is a special fat rubber tape that you will not find at home depot a roll is about $10 and an entire roll is used for just one connection making a ball of tape about the size of a baseball
Many code rules in play here smoke placement using 14-3 not 14-2 all smokes must be on an arc fault breaker
this is NOT a do it yourself type project

Smoke Detectors Question?
kasmira25
I just moved into a whole house and have noticed that there is one non working old as dirt smoke detector in the kitchen and non anywhere else in the house.
How many smoke detectors do i need?
I live in upstate NY
The house has a full unfinished basement, first floor,second floor with 4 bedrooms and bathroom, unfinished attic.
Gas heat and stove- so do i need a carbon monoxide detector?
I have two small children
The house is not new, its an older victorian
Any info would be helpful as to the amount and placement!! Thank you!
Answer
Not sure what the laws are regarding them, but I will give you best practices.
There should be at least one smoke detector and one carbon monoxide detector on each level of the home.
Each bedroom should have it's own smoke detector, preferably near the door to catch any smoke entering from the hallway.
Don't put a smoke detector in the kitchen due to nuisance alarms, but it's a good idea to have one nearby.
So I would recommend 8 smoke alarms and 3 CO detectors. If you want you can substitute 3 CO/smoke combo detectors.
Put one in each bedroom, one in the main hall on the second floor, two on the main floor, and one or two in the basement depending how big it is.
