carbon monoxide detectors law image
cpxchiseen
Beginning as of July 1, 2011, all homes of California must install carbon monoxide detectors. However does the law specify where the detectors are to be installed and how many? Should I just replace every smoke detector with a carbon monoxide/smoke detector or add carbon monoxide detectors in specific spots?
Answer
Our towns code states that there should be one for every smoke-detector. And there has to be 1 smoke detector on each story + one in each room that could, possibly, maybe be used as a bedroom someday + one directly outside each room that could, possibly, maybe be used someday as a bedroom + one inside and outside each hallway + one by each egress door + one within 5 feet of the furnace + one in each bathroom
I would need 17 in the house I'm living in. Since the regulations are so stupid and overbearing, I only have 1 (and am in gross violation of the International Property Maintenance Code)
btw I live in a crappy little ghost town in the Midwest
Republicans LOVE pushing regulations on poor people

Which Carbon Monoxide Alarm is best and how many should a home have?
KBGood
They just passed a law in Illinois saying that you have to have a Carbon Monoxide Detector in your home. Is there a difference between the plug-ins or the battery operated alarm? Also, does a home only need one or should there be an alarm near all appliances?
Answer
same rules apply for a smoke detector, one on each level of the house, especially near sleeping areas. Plug in with a battery back up are a little better as people do not tend to remember to change batteries yearly, and a detector does not do you any good if it's dead.
Also if you are a smoker or there is smokers in your house, be aware that sometimes the CO from cigarettes can set up detectors
