Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation and Maintenance Tips

What is Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?

Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when carbon monoxide (CO) builds up in the air, reducing oxygen levels and causing serious health problems.

Why CO Detector Installation Matters

Installing a carbon monoxide detector can help prevent carbon monoxide poisoning by detecting even small amounts of CO. Early detection is crucial to ensure prompt action and minimize harm.

Best Practices for CO Detector Placement

To ensure optimal performance, follow these best practices when placing your CO detector:

• Install detectors on every level
• Near fuel-burning appliances and sleeping areas
• Avoid placement near windows or in dead air spaces

Tips for CO Detector Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the optimal performance of your carbon monoxide detector. Follow these tips:

• Test detectors monthly
• Replace batteries yearly
• Replace entire detectors every 5-7 years
