In the bastement near the boiler and the hot water heater? OR in the hallway outside the bedrooms?
Answer
Near your furnace and hot water heater. These are the appliances that would give off carbon monoxide.
If you put the detector outside of the bedrooms, by the time the carbon monoxide travels to that space, it could be too late for you to get out, and have enough oxygen to make it to the door.
Put it near the appliances.

Best place to install a Carbon Monoxide detector - near floor?

I have heard that Carbon Monoxide is very heavy and so the detector should be placed near the floor. Does anyone know if that is true? I have a 8 month old baby and need to know!
Answer
a tenant in one of my apartments has a Carbon Monoxide detector, it was on her ceiling and it went off. (not a false alarm, furnace needed service) so in my experience, I don't think it matters. I think they sell them as a smoke alarm/carbon monoxide combination thing too, so I would guess it wouldn't matter.
