How many smoke detectors are needed in a two story single family home?

Answer 1

Answer 2

ou should have a somke dector in every hallway and pretty much every room! their a pain!

Answer 3

~~We have two in ours. One in the downstairs hallway, and one upstairs in the upstairs hallway. I forgot, my husband added one in the garage so we have three. Every bedroom can easily hear the alarm, so go by what you can hear in a bedroom with the door shut to figure your needs out.~~

Answer 4

In California the code calls for every lbedroom and hallway to have smoke detectors.

Best is to check with your local city hall code enforcement.
