A smoke detector should 
be located on each level.
Smoke detectors should
be located between the 
sleeping area and the rest
of the family living unit.
NOTE: Do not install smoke detectors where normal ambient temperatures are above
  100°F or below 40°F. Also, do not locate detectors in front of AC/ Heat 
  registers or other locations where normal air circulation will keep smoke
  from entering the detector.

  cost  from: The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park,
  Quincy, MA 02269. Request Standard No. NFPA74.
