CO alarms
Carbon monoxide (CO) alarms are safety devices that detect the presence of carbon monoxide gas, a colorless, odorless, and potentially deadly toxin produced by burning fuels like gas, wood, or coal. When CO levels become dangerous, the alarm sounds to alert occupants so they can evacuate or correct the source. Proper placement and regular testing of CO alarms are essential for safety, especially in homes with fuel-burning appliances. These alarms are a crucial safeguard to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, which can cause headaches, dizziness, and in severe cases, death.
