General

11 September 2024

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas, produced when fuel doesn’t burn correctly, that cannot be seen, smelt, or tasted. The only way to detect it is with a CO alarm. Your CO alarm should be installed 1-3 meters away from any fuel-burning appliance, they can be freestanding on a shelf or wall mounted.
