How many do you need on a 1700 sq ft home? null

We just had our home remodeled and to pass code inspection, we needed one in each bedroom and the hallway upstairs and downstairs.

That's about the size of my house, I have one in each bedroom (4), one in the basement, one in the hallway next to the bedrooms, one in our family room and one in our formal living room. So it really depends on how many bedrooms you have and your local codes, but for me I used 8 to protect my whole house, but by code I could have gotten away with 6 but added a couple extra for extra piece of mind.

As a minimum, I would think one in your sleeping area (bedroom) and one near the kitchen / furnace room. If you have a separate fireplace, you might consider one in that room as well. Best to check with your local fire department, they will tell you what you need for free!

It will depend on how many rooms you have. It is recommended to get one for each bedroom, then hallways, living room, etc. minus kitchen and garage.

U can use one or three... It depends on the location... I have one in my living room. U could put this on the main floor where the bedrooms are...

The same as traditional smoke detectors

There are very readable instructions that come with unit. They layout pretty clearly what they recommend . However common sense is useful in making these decisions as well.

I would say get 3 for the primary areas, kitchen, living room, and basement.
