Do you need a carbon monoxide detector if you don't have any gas running to your home?

carbon monoxide detectors malfunctioning image

Kay G

our house is 100% electric, so my thought is that you do not need a carbon monoxide detector because this poisionous gas comes from malfunctioning gas equipment. we live in Arizona and all the houses around us have no gas lines either, so do we need a co detector?

Answer
I would not purchase one if heat was electric.

Chloegirl

I just plugged in a first alert carbon monoxide detector down in basement. The horn will sound once or twice every 20 minutes or so and the red light will flash every so often also. Is this a malfunction or is there CO in my home?

Answer
A very load chirping noise.
