If CO, oh for goodness sake, boilers exhaust the gases into the outside world, not into the house. You don't need a CO alarm.


That is a scary opinion.


Is your boiler exhaust inside the house? Only really old fires did that.



There are deaths here in the US each year from CO poisoning and it's
not from "old fires". Typical example is a chimney used by a boiler,
furnace, water heater becomes obstructed, perhaps a rodent's nest.
People go to sleep and never wake up. I have a CO alarm in my home.
But you of course are free to do as you please.
