Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms Installation & Maintenance 

Carbon Monoxide cannot be seen, smelled or heard. But it can be detected with properly installed Co detectors. A carbon monoxide detector should be installed on every floor of your home, including the basement.

Locate detectors within 10 feet of each bedroom door and there should be one near or over any attached garage, especially if you have a battery unit used for back-up power for your home and/or charging an electric vehicle. Each detector should be replaced every five to six years - see manufacturer guide for more information.

Common household sources of CO include: Dryers, Water heaters, furnaces, & boilers, wood-burning or gas fireplaces & wood stoves, gas stoves/ovens, motor vehicles and boats, grills, camp stoves, and fuel-burning lanterns, generators, power tools and lawn equipment.
