Yes, you should install both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home, and combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are a convenient way to meet both requirements. While individual detectors are available, combination detectors are generally recommended because they provide protection against two hazards in one device.
anka security analyzes the reasons for you below:

Smoke detectors

They are essential for detecting fires and alerting you to the presence of smoke, which can be deadly.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detectors

They are necessary for detecting this odorless, colorless, potentially deadly gas produced by fuel-burning appliances such as furnaces, stoves, and fireplaces.

Combination detectors

Offer the benefits of detecting both smoke and carbon monoxide, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Important Considerations:

Placement:

Install smoke detectors on every level of your home, including near bedrooms and in hallways. Place CO detectors outside sleeping areas and near fuel-burning appliances.

Testing:

Test your detectors regularly to ensure they are working properly.

Maintenance:

Replace batteries as needed and replace detectors according to the manufacturer's recommendations (usually every 5-10 years).

Code Compliance:

Check local building codes for specific requirements regarding placement and types of smoke and CO detectors.
