Answer
Carobon Monoxide detectors should be mounted on the ceiling. I had ones that plugged into the outlet near the floor, and they worked just fine(probably saved the lives of me and my children). But they should be on or near the ceiling if possible.

i have a gas heater i put in my room last night. im worried im gonna get carbon monoxide poisoning. we have a detector, but its all the way upstairs, and i live downstairs. if its coming from my heater in my room, wouldnt it effect me before it reached the detector upstairs?
Answer
Carbon monoxide is heavier than air. The detector should be placed near ground level on the lowest occupied floor of the house. It's good to have one per floor, but if you only have one, it should be at the lowest occupied level because that is where the highest concentrations of gas will pool -- and you want the earliest warning possible. It should be near the floor for the same reason. If the heater is in your room, the detector should be in the room or the adjacent hallway. There are combination smoke/CO detectors but smoke detectors need to be near the ceiling and CO detectors need to be near the floor. Combination detectors are most appropriate for staircase landings, etc. in between floors of larger houses.
