Q: Where should I install Carbon Monoxide alarms?

A: To ensure maximum safety, Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms should be installed in several key areas of your home. Place a CO alarm on every level of the house, especially near sleeping areas, so the alarm can wake you if there’s an emergency. It’s also wise to install alarms in rooms with fuel-burning appliances, such as furnaces, water heaters, or fireplaces. Ensure that alarms are at least 15 feet away from these appliances to avoid false alarms caused by normal operation. If you have attached garages, install CO alarms nearby, as vehicle exhaust can seep into living areas. Additionally, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for optimal placement; for example, some gas alarms function best when mounted on walls or ceilings. Regular testing and maintenance of the alarms are essential to ensure they remain functional, keeping your home safe from the dangers of Carbon Monoxide.
