CO Detectors and Alarms

• CO detectors/alarms are designed to alarm before potentially life threatening levels of CO are reached. CO detectors should be installed in all homes.

• Have all fuel-burning venting systems in your home checked by an expert every year.

• All gas appliances must be vented so that CO will not build up in your home, cabin, or camper.

• Chimneys can be blocked by debris. This can cause CO to build up inside your home or cabin. Have your chimney checked or cleaned every year.
