We’re always told to check the smoke and COs detectors every time we change the clock, if not every month. But how many do we actually need, and where do we have to place them?
You’ll need smoke detectors for each bedroom, with at least one detector installed on each floor, including in a finished attic and in the basement.
At least one carbon monoxide detector must be installed on each floor of your home, including the basement. You’ll also want to consider adding a detector in your garage if it’s attached to your home. And most importantly, install a carbon monoxide detector inside or directly outside of each bedroom or sleeping area.
Last but not the least, make certain each alarm is loud enough to wake you up.
