1. A method for guiding installation of a hazard detector, comprising:

  • receiving, by the hazard detector during installation at a particular location within a residence, an input command to test whether an instant placement of the hazard detector would prevent the hazard detector from operating within specification to detect one or more hazards;

    implementing, by the hazard detector in response to receiving the input command, a test sequence to determine whether the instant placement of the hazard detector would prevent the hazard detector from operating within specification to detect one or more hazards; and

    outputting, by the hazard detector, a particular notification during installation at the particular location when it is determined that the instant placement of the hazard detector would prevent the hazard detector from operating within specification to detect one or more hazards, based upon readings of at least one component of the hazard detector.
