Question:

How many smoke detectors should I have in my home? Where should I put my Carbon Monoxide Detector?

My house is 20 years old and it is a 1 1/2 story with a full basement. The gas furnace/water heaters are in the basement. Access to the basement is through the interior of the house and it's walk-out. I'm planning on totally replacing the smoke detectors, they are not hard wired. With this considered, how many battery operated smoke detectors should I get for my home? 2600 sq feet finished living space with a full unfinished basement. Where should I install the Carbon Monoxide detector?

Answer:

They are heat activated they are under constant pressure and individually activated. When city water pressure is relieved from the system a device called a fire pump turns on to get the water pressure up really high when the fire pump panel has to energize the fire pump there are low voltage wires leading to the fire alarm panel that will activate the fire alarm panel the fire alarm panel calls a fire alarm company and they will call the fire department out to the building. The only exception to this is places where large quantities of flammable liquids are stored then all the sprinklers will go off at once.
This sounds like a paperfeed problem, clean the Pick up rollers (if rubber with sand paper)
