Description
Requiring 3 x AA batteries (included), the quality Carbon Monoxide Alarm has an expected lifespan of 10 years from date of install, and has a sticker on it so you can write the date you fitted it in your home. It is recommended that at least one CO alarm is present on each level of your home. Ideally you should install a carbon monoxide alarm in every room which is used as living accommodation that contains a fixed combustion appliance, such as a boiler, fireplace, etc. Since 2022, landlords now have to ensure that a carbon monoxide alarm is fitted in any room used as living accommodation which contains a fixed combustion appliance (excluding gas cookers).

What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colourless, tasteless, odourless, non-irritating lethal gas produced as a by-product during incomplete combustion of fuels due to there being insufficient oxygen present. Complete combustion occurs when sufficient oxygen is present and leads to the production of carbon dioxide. Most combustion processes (natural or man-made) produce some carbon monoxide. Toxic CO levels can occur suddenly or accumulate slowly over time. That's why lifesaving Carbon Monoxide Alarms utilise technology that is equally effective under both conditions.
