NFPA guidance generally recommends a detector inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home including the basement — many homes fall short of this, especially with additions or converted rooms. Run our audit above to check your specific setup.
Most smoke detectors have a recommended replacement lifespan of about 10 years from the manufacture date (not installation date) — check the date stamped on the back, since detectors don't always show obvious signs of failure.
Commercial systems are typically code-mandated, often require professional monitoring and certified installation, and involve more complex code compliance (occupancy type, building size) than residential smoke detectors.
Professional monitoring means a service is notified and can alert fire department even if no one is home to hear the alarm — this matters most for anyone frequently away or wanting an added layer of protection beyond a standalone alarm.
Don't wait to find out you're not covered. Check your compliance in 60 seconds.
