Carbon Monoxide Alarms
We care about your safety!
CO Alarms - When was yours last checked?
Annual safety inspections are important!!
​
Most think the best way to protect against carbon monoxide poisoning is to have a CO Alarm in the home. While this is important, the first line of defense against carbon monoxide poisoning is prevention through annual inspections of your home heating equipment, including vents and chimneys.
Alarms are a good second line of defense and every home should have at least one on each floor of your home or cottage.
Remember
The sensors on CO Alarms wear out over time. Check the manufacturer's instructions to determine when your particular unit should be replaced (usually after 7 to 10 years for CO Alarms and 10 years for Smoke Detectors.
Alarm Testing
-
Remember to test your CO Alarms and Smoke Detectors once a month by pushing the unit's test button
-
Replace the batteries once a year, including the back-up batteries for plug-in alarms
-
A good habit is to change the batteries every fall and spring when you change your clocks
Where To Install A CO Alarm
-
On every level of your home or cottage
-
In your RV and boat cabin
-
Near sleeping areas
-
In your boathouse
Did You Know?
Carbon monoxide mixes with air, unlike smoke which rises to the ceiling. If a combination Smoke/CO Detector is used, it should be located on the ceiling to detect smoke effectively.
Where Not To Install A CO Alarm
-
Near windows or vents
-
In bathrooms
-
Near heating or fuel-burning appliances
-
Near smoke alarms (unless a combination alarm)
Things To Know About CO Alarms
A CO Alarm works like a Smoke Detector in your home and beeps loudly when the sensors detect carbon monoxide. If you are searching for a CO Alarm, look for the CSA Blue Flame mark as well as the reference "CSA 6.19.01". This is the most updated Canadian standard. This shows that the alarm meets the recognized standards for safety.
CO Alarms should be installed as per the manufacturer's instructions. Follow the same manufacturer's maintenance procedures as you would with Smoke Detectors.
