Common questions
Where should smoke and CO alarms go?
Placement depends on the home and local requirements, but coverage near sleeping areas and on each level is a common planning point.
Can you replace old hardwired detectors?
Yes. Replacing aging hardwired devices is common, especially when devices are expired, mismatched, damaged, or no longer communicating correctly.
