Answer: If you have gas service to appliances in the home, you are required to place a CO detector in the hallway serving sleeping areas and in the bedrooms or sleeping areas. The method is that you will hear the detector outside the sleeping areas before the alarms detect CO in the sleeping areas. |

Answer: Proper placement of a carbon monoxide (CO) detector is important. If you are installing only one carbon monoxide detector, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends it be located near the sleeping area, where it can wake you if you are asleep. Additional detectors on every level and in every bedroom of a home provides extra protection against carbon monoxide poisoning. |
House and Home Inspection Services |
Answer: The International Association of Fire Chiefs recommend a carbon monoxide detector on every floor of your home, including the basement. A detector should be located within 10 feet of each bedroom door and there should be one near or over any attached garage. Each detector should be replaced every five to six years. |

Answer: CO mixes with air, so chest to knee height if possible is best in terms of location. In the home itself, for the best coverage, place one in each major area of your house. If that is untenable, the most important areas are sleeping areas/rooms, then places like the garage, by your furnace, laundry room if your dryer is gas operated, and if its multistory, then one on each story. |
