how often does carbon monoxide detector need to be calibrated for people in home inspection field
and also are their any gov. regulations that has these inspectors and or companys maintain and certify their insp, equip.
Answer
So people coming to this question after the fact, here's what we're talking about. A carbon monoxide detector measures air quality to detect and indicate any carbon monoxide (CO) concentration in the air, furnace flues, or boilers. They are used by home inspectors, and by those who perform burner energy testing, furnace and boiler servicing, environmental emissions monitoring and indoor air quality (IAQ) testing.
Most sensor manufacturers specify the calibration frequency of their instruments, however this can vary greatly with different environments and applications. The simplest answer to this question is you should calibrate as often as necessary to insure that your system is working properly. Usually it is advisable to track the response of new sensors more frequently until you understand how that particular sensor responds to your environment and application. A calibration log can then be used to gauge whether to shorten or lengthen the frequency of calibration. Also, a sensor should always be calibrated after a traumatic exposure, i.e., dropped in mud, left in a pickup truck on a hot day, etc. Portable instruments usually require more frequent calibrations than fixed systems.

Is there anything I can use INDOORS to plug my refrigerator into in case of a power outage?
Yes, I'm g
Thanks in advance
Can it be used indoors without fumes? What type?
Answer
Carbon monoxide is a constant threat when using a portable generator to power something inside a house. So no matter how you arrange the portable generator I suggest you buy a carbon monoxide detector (I just bought a battery operated CO detector at Walmart for $16.00)
I plan to hook-up a small portable generator for my refrigerator in the event we lose power for an extended length of time. (I just ordered a 1300 watt generator from Amazon.com (under $300.00) - I will place it outside my kitchen wall or I have a huge attic with windows and may simply put it in the attic and run a line to the refrigerator. (but my carbon monoxide detector will let me know if I am in danger. -- carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless and cannot be detected easily without a detector.
good luck.
