I am in the middle of the whole house remodeling and my electrician

Is this worth the effort? *I was planning on just using battery
operated ones that you attach to the ceiling with a double sided tapes
and only in the kitchen, garage and the family room where a fire place
is located.

What is the benefit of having a smoke alarm that is hard wired? *I
asked him and he said that if it's hard wired and chained together,
then if one goes off all goes off, ok so this is a slight plus.

Comments?

Thats the code now adays, - if you are pulling wire thru the area
anyways, why not, the extra cost is definitly worth a life.
