Carbon Monoxide (CO) detectors

Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors are safety devices designed to alert you to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide gas in your home. CO is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas produced by burning fuels like gas, wood, or charcoal. Because it’s hard to detect without a device, CO detectors monitor the air and emit an alarm if carbon monoxide levels become unsafe. Proper placement and regular testing are important to ensure reliability. Installing CO detectors in main living areas and near sleeping spaces helps protect occupants from the health risks associated with CO poisoning, which can cause headaches, dizziness, fatigue, or even loss of consciousness.
