Five Essential Facts You Need to Know About Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Optimal Placement of CO Detectors

Unknown

Knowing where to install CO detectors is pivotal. Devices should be installed on each level of the home, including the basement and near each sleeping area. This ensures that the alarm can awaken occupants in case of a leak at night. Also, unlike smoke detectors, they don't need to be placed near ceilings. Gaseous CO mixes with air, and can, therefore, be detected at any height. Avoiding placement near windows, doors, or vents that might cause drafts is crucial, as this can make the detector less effective.
