You should have a photo-electric smoke alarm in your house because they react more quickly to smoldering fire byproducts than most ionizing type smoke alarms. Having ANY type of smoke alarm is better than none, provided it has the necessary batteries and maintenance to actually work during a fire.
Change all of them at the same time, as otherwise the weaker ones will make the newer ones fail more quickly. Note that some smoke alarms no longer have replaceable batteries, since you need to dispose of a smoke alarm after 8-10 years anyway.
Smoke alarms should be tested at least once a month. All smoke alarms have a test button that you push to check out the entire alarm, including its sensitivity (how much smoke it takes to set it off). If the testing mechanism does not work properly, the alarm should be replaced immediately. Never use open flame devices to test an alarm.Older adults and the physically impaired may have problems reaching their alarms to test them. There is one brand of smoke alarm on which the test feature can be activated by shining a flashlight on it. Another brand has an automatic test that activates at the same time and day, once a week. These models can be used where proper testing might not otherwise be done.Smoke alarms need no maintenance other than changing batteries (in those that have batteries) and an occasional vacuuming of dust or cobwebs. Every smoke alarm comes with a homeowner booklet, which describes how to use and take care of that particular alarm. You should read that booklet and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

If the smoke alarm in the offending room is muted out somehow or completely disabled, you will still be alerted to the fire since a number of other interlinked smoke alarms will also sound off as well.
According to NFPA research, 96 percent of US homes have at least one smoke alarm. Unfortunately, at least 23 percent of them are useless because they do not have working batteries. Homes with smoke alarms that don't work now outnumber homes that don't have any smoke alarm at all. Two thirds of deaths in fires in the home occur in homes without working alarms.
