With smoke detectors running about $10.00 each plus tax and a 1 hr labor rate this brings the total here at 4 detectors @10.00 = $40.00 plus $45.00 labor = $90.00

In Illinois it is required to have both a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector in all homes. Combination units run from about $40 each plus the labor for installation which runs $40 per hour. Should be able to install about three-hour normally.
