carbon monoxide detectors at home depot image
westofrest
We have a radon detector that was used to test the radon level in the basement. Can we use it to get an accurate reading for carbon monoxide level instead of using a carbon monoxide detector? Thank you.

I don't think so. There is a carbon monoxide circular device that is aliken to the fire alarm circular device you attach to the ceiling in your home. They say this cm device should be placed by your windows as well as in your garage and bedroom. I heard they are about $20 each at Home Depot. In my humble opinion you don't need to know the "levels" what you need to know is when it's there and to leave promptly upon hearing the alarm. Btw, radon can be present in rooms that rarely have the windows open as it gets trapped. So as I understand it, it's around, just don't harness it.

How do I install a hardwired smoke/carbon monoxide detector in my home?

At times, the present detector's alarm sounds for no reason and must be replaced. I'd like to do it myself and avoid the expenses of a professional. I know how to shut off the electricity at the site and have all necessary tools.
Answer
Call an electrician if you mess up the detector will not work this could be very dangerous. It isn't like wiring a light if you mess up a light it just wont work you mess up this and the smoke will fail to sound during a fire.
If you don't know how to do it how do you know you have the tools you need.
********"Hi i am glad to me you" has no clue what he is taking bout there in no positive or negative wiring in a house. Electrical tape is almost never to be used for a permanent connection it will dry out with age and loose it adhesive leave the wire exposed to arcing and become a fire hazard. In the rare case tape is use for a permanent connection(burndies for very large wires in industrial setting) it is a special fat rubber tape that you will not find at home depot a roll is about $10 and an entire roll is used for just one connection making a ball of tape about the size of a baseball
Many code rules in play here smoke placement using 14-3 not 14-2 all smokes must be on an arc fault breaker
this is NOT a do it yourself type project
