Proper Smoke Detector Placement
The proper placement of smoke detectors is crucial for their effectiveness. Here are the recommended locations for smoke detector placement:
-
At least one smoke detector on every level of your home, including basements.
-
One inside every sleeping room.
-
Outside of each sleeping area (such as common hallways).
-
One at the highest point inside your home (like vaulted ceilings).
Many smoke detectors are designed to mount to a ceiling, but some can also be wall-mounted when ceiling attachment isn’t feasible. In this case, smoke detectors should be within a few inches of the ceiling - the closer the better. Proper smoke detector placement can ensure early detection of smoke and provide ample time to evacuate.

We offer a variety of smoke detector options, including ionization and photoelectric detectors, as well as combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Smoke Detector Types
There are two types of residential smoke detectors: ionization and photoelectric. Ionization smoke detectors use electrically-charged particles to detect smoke in the air and are more responsive to flaming fires (such as a tipped candle igniting a curtain). Photoelectric smoke detectors use a light beam to detect smoke and are better at detecting smoldering fires (such as a cigarette).n accidental fire. Don’t know where to start?
