What Time To Have a Carbon Monoxide Detector Installed In Home?
When should you install a carbon monoxide detector in your home? Does everyone need a carbon monoxide detector? What kind of appliances can cause carbon monoxide poisoning?
Our answer: You should have an active carbon monoxide detector alarm installed in your home when you are burning indoors any type of liquid or solid fuel for heating, cooking or other use.
If you have fuel-burning appliances on more than one level of your home, you should have a carbon monoxide detector alarm on each floor. For example, if you have a gas range on the main floor and a wood-burning fireplace on the lower level, you should have detectors on each of these floors.
Such fuel-burning appliances are generally tested and safe to use, but should there be a clogged vent line or any part of the appliance that becomes faulty, it could release hazardous levels of carbon monoxide in home and death can occur within minutes.
But you can keep your family safe by using a carbon monoxide detector alarm which can alert you to the presence of this toxic gas.
You should also consider installing a unit in that area If you work regularly on running vehicles in a closed garage.
