Using smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in residences just makes sense! Countless deaths each year can be prevented by using a working detector in the home. More state and local laws require compliance covering existing structures, new homes, placement and types to use. A great resource for more information on smoke alarms is at the U.S. Fire Administration FEMA. You can read their publication on state-by-state residential guidelines detailing the 47 state requirements for these life saving devices as of May, 3, 2010. If your smoke detector was installed before July 1, 2000, it needs to be replaced.
The dangers of the invisible killer, carbon monoxide, can come from various sources from inside and outside the home. FEMA has compiled an informative resource explaining the poisoning risk and what you can do.

Be sure to select the one right for your situation and consult local and state requirements to be sure you are in compliance. Batteries can make the difference in having an operable working detector.
