<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Number of Floors in Home
A smoke detector should be located on every livable floor in a home. If your home has a basement, install one there as well. Be sure to interconnect the alarms if possible so that if one goes off, all of the others do as well.
On the Other: Number of Bedrooms in Home
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that homeowners install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area. If you install a smoke detector within 20 feet of the kitchen, make sure it has a "hush" button to reduce the alarm's sensitivity to reduce the number of false alarms caused by cooking.
Bottom Line
Regardless of the number of bedrooms and floors in a house, smoke detectors should be tested monthly to ensure it is properly functioning. Make sure you install the alarm high on a wall or ceiling because smoke rises.
