Do You Need a Carbon Monoxide Alarm?

Gas Appliances: If you have gas appliances such as gas boilers, water heaters, cookers, or fireplaces, you should have a CO alarm in place.

Solid Fuel Heating: If you use coal, wood, or biomass to heat your home, such as with a wood-burning stove or an open fire, a CO alarm is necessary.

Fossil Fuels in a Garage: If you have a garage attached to your home where you run a car or use fuel-powered machinery, CO can leak into your home, so an alarm is a good idea.

Camping or Emergency Generators: If you use gas or charcoal grills, generators, or other fuel-burning equipment indoors or in a confined space, CO alarms can prevent potential poisoning.

Where to Install a Carbon Monoxide Alarm:

• On each level of your home, particularly near bedrooms so you can hear it while sleeping.

• Near any gas appliances, such as kitchens or utility rooms.

• Near the fireplace or heating systems.

• Do not install them directly next to a fuel-burning appliance (to avoid false alarms) or near windows, doors, or vents where airflow may affect the sensor.
