carbon monoxide detector upstairs or downstairs image

skg20051

Okay we just moved into a house and Me and my husbands bedroom is upstairs and my sons is downstairs, I am scared to leave him downstairs, I mean I have a baby monitor, am I being ridiculous? He sleeps in our bedroom for now. My husband says he's ok sleeping down there. Can anyone give me advice on what to do.
My mother in law also sleeps downstairs, but with her door shut, and she leaves early to go to work, so he would be downstairs by himself for a few hours in the morning-

Answer
I don't think I could sleep away from him--but that's just me. If it is a must then invest in a video monitor and make sure there is a fire alarm and carbon monoxide detector in his room.

Is it normal for heating unit to emit gas odor? I have central air and a less than 10 year old heating system.?

It emitted a strong (gas-like) odor a while ago. I've turned it off and called hvac company to come check it (probably will be a few days before they come). i have two units, one upstairs and one downstairs. carbon monoxide alarms have not gone off (though i know carbon monoxide is odorless).
Polar Bear, easy on jumping to conclusions, fellow. The house, and therefore the unit are almost ten years old. I've only lived here 6 months. I had a check up done in October, 3 months ago (before i started using the system), and everything was fine. I have been using the system regularly at nights, and sometimes mornings. This morning was first time I smelled what seemed like gas. I will call gas company as well. meanhwile, i've already requested service/check up from hvac company.

Answer
It is not normal for heating unit to emit gas odour, it is dangerous to the point that an explosion could occur. Call your gas company and tell then, they mat send a technician over right away. Do not delay as you may have a very dangerous situation. CO detectors will not detect the gas.
