1. Genuine Friend in Need- Carbon Monoxide Detector Alarm
CO gas being a ‘silent killer’ cannot be detected by an individual without using a device. Most of
the people do not realize that they are being poisoned. CO is dangerous to humans depending
upon the amount present in the air. They cause breathing problems, vomiting, dizziness,
choking and in extreme cases even death. Every individual wants to protect his family from this
dangerous gas. They can do so by installing at least one CO detector alarm in their home. These
detectors are designed to measure the level of CO overtime and then sound an alarm before it
crosses danger level.
People inside the house are given adequate warning to take suitable measures either ventilate
the area or vacate it entirely. If there is malfunctioning of fuel burning devices, these CO
detectors sound an alarm. Some common sources of CO are space heaters, blocked chimney,
running a car inside a garage, water heaters and oven. As CO is very close to the same density
as air, CO detectors should be placed near the ceiling or near the floor. This gas being colorless
and odorless, it is not possible to detect it in a home environment without the help of CO
detectors.

2. They are either a stand -alone model or system connected monitored device. They are
monitored by a central station and they send proper authorities in case of an emergency. Most
of the fuel burning equipment produces little CO if they are installed properly or maintained
regularly. A slight disruption in the venting process results in the shortage of oxygen to the
burner. Then CO quickly rises to danger level causing discomfort to the people. Make sure that
CO never has a chance to enter your house by regularly maintaining your gas appliances.

3. Check chimneys and vents to prevent cracks, blockage, holes or corrosion. Open the door of the
garage before you start a vehicle so as to prevent chocking or suffocation. Choose the correct
device to keep your home safe. Then install them in key areas so that you will be alerted to the
presence of this harmful gas before it is too late. There are two types of devices that are based
on different smoke detection technology- photoelectric and ionization. Each of these CO
devices detect smoke and gives ample escape time to the people. Install carbon monoxide
detector alarm in your house and have a sound sleep!
