Where should I put smoke and carbon monoxide detectors?
• You should have at least one smoke detector on every level of your home, including the basement and attic. Smoke detectors should be replaced every couple of years to ensure safety. You also should have a smoke detector near the sleeping areas of your home. If you sleep with your bedroom doors closed you should have a smoke detector in every bedroom. A single carbon monoxide detector in your home is sufficient. The carbon monoxide detector should be located near where you sleep.
