How Many smoke and carbon monoxide alarms should your home have?

SMOKESIGN.COM'S RECOMMENDATIONS

For maximum protection, SmokeSign.com recommends placing one smoke alarm in each bedroom, one smoke alarm in the kitchen area, one smoke alarm in the major hallway, and finally one smoke alarm in the basement stairway. SmokeSign.com also recommends placing a carbon monoxide alarm on each level of a home (preferably next to sleeping areas).

For minimum protection, SmokeSign.com recommends placing one smoke alarm per level of your home and one carbon monoxide alarm near the bedrooms.
