Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detector or Service Appliances?

Servicing your furnace should not be by passed up because your have a CO detector. Any time you have a back up system and basically what a CO detector is functioning as it shouldn't be counted on because everything can fail. What ever you are servicing a furnace, water heater, stove or dryer they should be service by a qualified service person.

When CO alarms are installed it is recommended that one be installed in the hallway out side bedrooms. The detector can be installed low or high because carbon monoxide mixes well with air in the house. DO not place where furniture or draperies are covering the detector because this will restrict air flow to the CO detector.
