How many smoke detectors do I need for my house ?

A newly constructed home by today's fire codes requires a hard-wired smoke detector on each floor in addition to a hard-wired detector in each bedroom. 

We recommend the same number of detectors for maximum coverage and protection in existing homes as well.

If you are renting a property, the landlord is required to install smoke detectors within your unit.
