carbon monoxide detector july image
jj67
I moved into a new apartment mid july, which also happens to be the month I've quit smoking. But I quit smoking before i Moved and I did not have these symptoms. Anyways, My new apartment is very stuffy, especially the masterbed room. It's crazy here I have to turn the air conditioner on 60 degree's to slightly cool it down. My friends come over and everytime someone walks in they comment on the stuffy air. I have tried everything from Turning all the fans on with the windows open. I brought a humidfier today. Anyways, for the Last 2 weeks, I have been feeling really spacy, having ringing in my ears, dizziness, and i seem to feel better when I get to work after an hour or two, I feel normal again. Then when i come home, the feeling happens all over again, and it's driving me crazy. What would cause this? It's so Damn hot in my apartment , the air is just so stuffy, it's almost hard to breath threw your noise in here... Will conditions like that cause a person to feel ill? And how can I resolve this situation, because at this point I really regret moving in here. Anyone ever had this before with their home? Will the Humidifier help? Pls help me I felt like i was about to pass out when I woke up this morning! Thanks.

How many smoke alarms do we need?
GIGLZZ AND
We live in a 1300 square feet house and we have 2 smoke alarms (one in one of the 3 bedrooms and one in the hallway) and am getting a heat detector connected to our security system in our kitchen, should we have anymore, we had a smoke alarm for the security system but discovered it was defective after a somewhat small fire. I think we have two spots for interconnected smoke alarm, when we first moved in 10 years ago we had a very old wired smoke alarm in the hallway but has been replaced twice and now its just a battery operated one installed in the same spot. our house was built in july 1982.

At a minimum you should have one in each bedroom and one outside of each bedroom. If they share a common hallway or room then one outside is permitted. They should be mounted on the ceiling or on the wall 4 to 12 inches from the ceiling. Also, one in the attic(if possible) and one in the basement or near gas burning or electric appliances(furnace, water tank, dryer). You should also have carbon monoxide detectors if you have gas burning appliances. One near the appliances and one in your bedroom. If your all electric then a CO alarm is not needed. Inter-connecting smoke alarms are great but if the system does not work then make sure you stay current with changing the batteries. You can now get 10 year lithium batteries for your smoke alarms. That's right, they last 10 years and most detectors are warrantied for 10 years as well. The batteries are about 7 bucks a piece but well worth the investment. At the end of the 10 year period, you should replace the detectors.
