carbon monoxide detectors that plug in image
cottonlily
I'm moving into a rental house that has a big rectangular metal space heater. It has to be plugged in but it's fueled by propane. That kinda baffles me, but whatever, I've always had CH/AC. My question is what do I need to know about this thing? All I know so far is that I'll need a carbon monoxide detector which the re-modelers are already installing.
Answer
A lot of space heaters do not require electricity to operate, but they have blower fans as an option to help circulate the heat.
Check the rating plate on the heater. It should state the minimum clearances to be maintained from combustibles etc.
These type of heaters work quite well for heating an open area. You wont get a lot of benefit from it in rooms off of the main room, but they work pretty well...They are PERFECTLY SAFE if they are maintained and serviced properly. If they weren't they wouldn't be allowed in homes.

Do you recommend getting a carbon monoxide detector hard-wired in to home or buy an outlet detector?

I am buying a new home, and was wondering about the pro's and con's of having a carbon monoxide dectector hard wired into my homes (this is very costly)
-OR-
Should i buy a device that plugs into an outlet that can monitor carbon monoxide?
What do you suggest ?
What do you use in your homes?
Thanks!

Always good to have a hard wired system through out the house.But Kiddie makes a great detector that is battery operated and will do the job as good as any hard wired system.Just remember in October to change the batteries whether you need to or not it is good practice.October is fire prevention month so do this and you will be safe.
