Do I need a carbon monoxide alarm in my home?

General

23 April 2026

If your home has any fuel-burning appliance – including a gas boiler, gas cooker, gas fire, oil burner, or wood-burning stove – you should have a carbon monoxide alarm. In England, a CO alarm is legally required in any room with a fixed combustion appliance (excluding gas cookers) under the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015 (amended 2022). Scotland and Wales have similar requirements.
