WHERE TO INSTALL

CO ALARMS

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends the use of at least one CO Alarm per household, located near the sleeping area. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.

If your bedroom hallway is longer than 40 feet, install a CO Alarm at BOTH ends of the hallway.

SUGGESTED AREAS FOR INSTALLING CO ALARMS

In a Single-level Home:

•Install at least one CO Alarm near or within each separate sleeping area.

•For added protection, install an additional CO Alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source.

In a Multi-level Home:

•Install at least one CO Alarm near or within each separate sleeping area.

•For added protection, install at least one CO Alarm on each level of the home. If you have a basement, install that CO Alarm at the top of the basement stairs.

•For added protection, install an additional CO Alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source.

In a Mobile Home:

•Install CO Alarms on inside walls ONLY. Uninsulated outside walls and roofs of mobile homes often transfer heat and cold from outdoors.
