I live in a 2 story home and I was wondering where you were supposed to or the most ideal place is to put a carbon monoxide detector? I currently have it in the basement but I'm afraid that if it starts going off we may not hear it on the 2nd floor.
Answer
They should be mounted near bedrooms and living areas. It is recommended you install one on each floor.It is not recommended that you install them in garages, kitchens or furnace rooms. Installation in these areas could lead to nuisance alarms and may expose the sensor to substances that could damage the unit or contaminate it or may not be heard by persons in the home. Read this from the manual.I have mine plugged into a receptacle about 12 to 16 in. from the floor. BTW: The one I have plugged into the receptacle does have a battery backup,they all do in case the power goes out.

I have a health condition that results in me having constant headaches, but for the last 2 weeks my husband has been complaining about headaches and was sick to his stomach last night and i got a bloody nose for the first time in 15 years this morning. i was wondering if this could be due to carbon monoxide poisioning. i know the headaches are a syptom but what about the rest? i know i should buy a test but there is a huge storm here and i don't want to drive.

if you suspect CO, then you definitely should open a few windows, at least a bit.
Also purchasing a co detector is definately a good idea, but be sure to plug it into an outlet close to the floor.
seriously, CO is definitely not something to play around with..
My uncle died from CO poisoning, started the car in the garage to get warm, and accidentally fell asleep....
So, open a window, if that helps, you should get a detector. put it near your furnace if you have one that runs on propane/natural gas.
IF it is detected, then you should get a technician to come and look at your furnace, as CO is caused by incomplete combustion, not enough air for the fire, and could also be symptom of blocked/malfunctioning flue/chimney
IF you do not have a combustion furnace, its not particularly likely that you would have alot of CO in your house.
The quick answer? open a window a bit, get some fresh air, although if its -20 C or so like it is here, dont open it to much :D
