I am purchasing a single family home that was built in 1974. The previous owner took their battery operated smoke detectors.
Can anyone tell me what the Maine law is for having these? Obviously I need smoke detectors. Do I need Carbon Monoxide detectors as well? Do these need to be hard wired in? How many do I need of each?
Answer
Smoke detectors required. The owner shall properly install, or cause to be properly installed, smoke detectors in accordance with the National Electric Code and the manufacturer's requirements. In single-family dwellings, at least one smoke detector, which may be photoelectric, ionization or a combination of both, must be installed in each area within, or giving access to, bedrooms. These smoke detectors may be powered by the electrical service in the dwelling, by battery or by a combination of both. Any smoke detector located within 20 feet of a kitchen or a bathroom containing a tub or shower must be a photoelectric-type smoke detector.
The CO detectors are a good idea but I believe only required in multi-family dwellings. Check around the link.

Answer
i am not aware of any building code the requires co detectors. you can add one if you like but the landlord is not going to pay for it.
