Carbon Monoxide Detectors

A carbon monoxide detector is a critical and potentially life saving device that sounds an alert if it detects the presence of the odourless, tasteless and colourless gas. It continuosuly monitors and measure the level of carbon monooxide in the air. According to the national fire protection agencies recommendation you should put carbon monoxide alarms in every room that burns fuel, outside each sleeping area and on each floor of your home. There are many different types of CO alarm including smart versions which can send alerts to your smartphone. Sealed battery units have a lifetime of five to ten years, after which the battery will run out and the whole unit will need to be replaced. Normally a sound from the product prompts you that the battery is running low. There are also replaceable battery versions that require the batteries to be replaced periodically. Whichever version suits requirements, it is important to regularly test the device to ensure that it is working correctly, this is usually done through the test button on the product itself.
