what kind of smoke detector should i install?

Hey there!  It depends on what kind of environment you want to be able to detect smoke in, if it’s in a bedroom or living room, or in a kitchen.  Smoke detectors that are able to detect smoke from a long distance away (say 10 to 100 feet) might not be ideal for small spaces like a bedroom, where a typical smoke detector only detects smoke within 4 feet of the detector.  Conversely, they can be pretty powerful and effective in a kitchen, because smoke can travel up to 5 feet away and in towards the detector.

Okay, what kind should I install?
user
The detector you choose will depend on the location you have in mind.  If you have a kitchen, then a long range detector could be ideal.  If you have a bedroom, then a short range detector could be optimal.  With either choice, your detector should be able to detect both smoke and carbon monoxide.
