Unfortunately, CO poisoning leads to around 50 preventable deaths every year in England and Wales. This alarming statistic highlights the importance of protecting your household with a reliable carbon monoxide alarm.
In this post, we’ll explore three of the best carbon monoxide alarms currently available on the UK market from FireAngel, one of the most trusted names in home safety. Whether you’re looking for advanced features, long-lasting protection, or portability, these models offer great value and peace of mind.
If you want a CO alarm that provides real-time information at a glance, FireAngel’s Digital CO Alarm FA3322 is a top choice. This model stands out due to its digital screen, which offers a clear and constant readout of current CO levels in your home.
Why is this important? While most CO alarms simply sound an alert when dangerous levels are detected, the digital display on the FA3322 provides a visual indication of rising CO levels, giving you more time to react. The display is especially helpful for monitoring gradual changes that may not immediately trigger an alarm but still indicate a potential problem, such as a malfunctioning boiler or blocked flue.

It’s an excellent option for those who want peace of mind knowing their CO alarm is always ready to respond in an emergency.

Compliance and Installation: Meeting British Safety Standards
The FireAngel CO alarms highlighted above are fully compliant with British Standard EN 50291-1:2018 and BS EN 50291-2:2019 for use in domestic settings. Each of these alarms is independently third-party tested to ensure compliance with the highest safety standards, earning certifications such as the BSI Kitemark or SGS certification for reliability and performance.
It’s crucial to install your CO alarms correctly for them to be effective. FireAngel recommends that alarms should be installed 1 to 3 meters from potential CO sources like boilers or stoves, and also in living spaces and bedrooms where CO could accumulate. Regular testing is essential to ensure your alarm is in proper working order, and alarms should be replaced at the end of their lifespan, typically indicated by the manufacturer.
