Sources of Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide is a by-product of combustion, present whenever fuel is burned. It can be produced by gas or oil furnaces, gas clothes dryers, ranges, water heaters, space heaters, fireplaces, charcoal grills, generators, and wood burning stoves.
If these devices are vented properly and free malfunctions, carbon monoxide will most likely be safely vented to the outside. But in today's "energy efficient" homes this is frequently not the case. Homes that are tightly constructed can trap Carbon Monoxide in a home. One of the most common malfunctions is a gas furnace heat exchanger cracking. Also, vents can become blocked, inadequate air supply for combustion appliances can cause adverse conditions.

Carbon Monoxide Detector
(wall or ceiling mount)
Installation should be in each bedroom area. These detectors are an integral part of the alarm system control. Response, if activated, is to sound keypads, and our Command Center can notify you of the event.
