Carbon monoxide detectors are installed into your house/property for your own safety. We recommend checking the detector from time to time to make sure it works as it should. It is also highly recommended that you check your carbon monoxide detectors every month. Checking the detector is as simple as pressing the button to hear a series of beeps.
Why are carbon monoxide detectors so important?
Carbon monoxide detectors are able to detect whether there is carbon monoxide within the atmosphere. If inhaled, carbon monoxide can be transported around the body, which can cause health problems from headaches to breathing problems. It’s important to have a detector as carbon monoxide can’t be detected by smell or taste.
It is highly suggested that your carbon monoxide detector is installed by a professional Gas Safe registered engineer (which all of our engineers are!) This is because they’re dealing with a hazardous substance and may harm yourself before you’ve even installed your detector. It may be a given, however it’s important that you never take a BBQ into your house, as they can produce a large amount of carbon monoxide, even when the flames start to die. On top of this, it is recommended that appliances, such as cabinet heaters shouldn’t be used in your house excessively as they can increase the production of carbon monoxide in your property.
