FAQs About Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Both devices address different dangers, with smoke detectors alerting you to fires and carbon monoxide detectors warning of CO buildup, which can be equally hazardous.
It’s best to install smoke detectors on every level of your home, inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and in the kitchen. Carbon monoxide detectors should be placed near each sleeping area and according to manufacturer recommendations.
Smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years and carbon monoxide detectors as per the manufacturer’s advice, usually every 5 to 7 years.
While DIY installation is possible, professional installation ensures that the detectors are set up correctly and functioning properly.
Regular testing and battery changes are recommended to ensure the detectors remain operational.
