| Smoke Detectors |
- Smoke alarms can help provide early warning of smoke or fire.
However, it may be difficult to decide what type of detector you
should buy for your home. First, it is important to understand where
you should install detectors.
- It is Illinois State Law that requires detectors through out
your house. Smoke detectors should be placed on every level of your
house, with in 15-feet of the sleeping areas and a detector in every
sleeping quarter.
- Detectors should be installed on the ceiling or on the walls
depending on the manufacturers installation requirements.
- Smoke detectors are only good for between 8 to 10-years. After
that time they should be replaced.
