How to install a Carbon Monoxide detector safely - Small Energy Saving Measure

Carbon Monoxide detector alarms are designed to warn you of any build-up of CO in your home. They are very important because CO is difficult to detect - you cannot taste, see or smell it.
Alarms should be placed in any room that has a fuel burning appliance. They will alert you if there is a presence of unusual CO build-up and allow you to escape. These higher levels of CO may occur from improperly maintained, installed or used fuel-burning appliances, backdrafting appliances or fireplaces, or idling cars in garages.
Tip: Take a free-standing alarm with you when you go away on holiday - whether you are staying in a hotel, boat, tent or caravan.
