carbon monoxide detector years image
boo4yoo
My house is 20 years old and it is a 1 1/2 story with a full basement. The gas furnace/water heaters are in the basement. Access to the basement is through the interior of the house and it's walk-out. I'm planning on totally replacing the smoke detectors, they are not hard wired. With this considered, how many battery operated smoke detectors should I get for my home? 2600 sq feet finished living space with a full unfinished basement. Where should I install the Carbon Monoxide detector?
Answer
Check with your local fire department and they will be GLAD to come to your house and show you where to put up all your detectors and also what type of fire extinguishers to have and where to hang them. And it's a good idea in another aspect...the fire department refreshes themselves on your location. They may also provide window stickers for bedrooms and pets.

Our house was built 6 years ago, should we need to still buy a Carbon Monoxide Detector?
Q. We moved into our house one year ago, but I was wondering and seriously considering buying a carbon Monoxide detector because we have a furnace. We bought them for our house in the UK, just to be safe, but the house was like typical houses in the UK oldish. Since our house in the US is newer, should we need to still buy a detector? Thank You.

Answer
If you have any natural gas running through your house, then the answer is DEFINITELY YES! It doesn't matter how old or efficient a natural gas appliance is, it can still give off carbon monoxide, and you wouldn't even know until you and your family got sick, if you even woke up at all. If your house uses all electric then no, you'll never need a carbon monoxide detector, but if you have gas, and love your family get one. It never hurts, and is one of those "just in case" precautions.
