How to Choose the Right Location to Install a Smoke Detector

Hi! This is Jon for Expert Village. In this video clip I will be showing you step 1 for installing a smoke detector. Now there should be a smoke detector installed in every room of your house including every hallway. This room does not have a smoke detector in it so we need to find a good location for it. The smoke detector that I have chosen happens to detect smoke and carbon monoxide. If you take a look at the packing, you will notice that this is designed for 4 bedrooms. They do have other smoke detectors that are designed for kitchens, hallways or other rooms of the house. I am going to be installing the smoke detector towards the door of this room in the event that there was a fire outside of this room, the smoke would come down the hallway and come in raised to the ceiling right in front of that door and set that smoke detector off first.
