I'm about to put in a replacement panel, and in this jurisdiction, if a permit says the work is worth more than $1000, the owner is forced to put in a full set of smoke detectors and co detectors.
The house is heated by a (desperately old) wall/floor furnace in the living room and hall outside the bedrooms.
Code wants for me to put in a combination smoke/co detector in the hall, and the hall is short, so I can't get even remotely away from this floor furnace.
I think I want to use a photoelectric unit, not an ionizing unit, would you not agree? The kitchen is also at the end of the hall.
Two of the bedrooms are off this hall. The third likely is an addition from the dark middle ages. It is reached thru the laundry room and kitchen.
Do you think the city will insist that I put a co detector outside that bedroom as well?
