Where you put a detector in your home in Mechanicsburg, PA, will depend on several things. You wouldn’t need one in the basement or bathroom, but you will need one in the following areas of your house, as location matters in this case:

Repairs can be done to your detector, such as loose connections. A loose connection can prevent the device from working. A good working detector is hard-wired into the ceiling. Sometimes walking in-between floors can knock the wiring loose, which will result in repairs.

If you are building a new home or commercial dwelling, you should have already considered detectors (carbon and smoke) and where to have them installed. Each story of the building should be assigned to at least one.

Each detector should be interconnected with the next. One that is triggered alerts all others. Not all of them have an interconnection feature, though. Smoke is dangerous and very deadly when inhaled. This is why it’s essential to have this feature.
