Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless toxic gas that can kill you. Carbon Monoxide is a byproduct of combustion and incomplete burning of fuels. If your home burns any type of fuel: gas, propane, heating oil, kerosene heaters, wood and pellet stoves, you have the potential for carbon monoxide. The simple answer is you MUST have carbon monoxide detectors.

Amanda's Law was adopted in February 22, 2010 and states; all new and existing buildings that have a fuel burning source must have carbon monoxide detectors. A general rule of thumb is all sleeping units should have a carbon monoxide detector and every level of your home (hallways) should have a carbon monoxide detector.
