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.

A chimney? ROFL! I don't have 19th century fixtures.

The silent killer in your home: NHS reveal the REAL danger of carbon monoxide poisoning

EVERY day four people have to attend A&E departments across the UK with suspected carbon monoxide poisoning, with a huge 87 per cent of these requiring treatment.

The stats received from NHS Trusts do not include incidents where fatalities occurred before any treatment could be delivered.

In 2014, an estimated 50 people died from carbon monoxide poisoning in the UK, with the vast majority passing away before their bodies were even found.

Recent high profile cases have raised awareness of carbon monoxide and encouraged the public to think about safety and prevention.

Just last month, Michael Travers died at a holiday chalet in the Scottish borders from a carbon monoxide leak, while his wife and son were overcome by fumes and left critically injured

Millionaire's daughter dies of carbon monoxide poisoning at luxury home

The Giauques were shown a valid gas certificate issued within the previous 12 months and were satisfied every care had been taken with the deluxe property, which was rented privately.
But an inquest heard the boiler was not checked again for at least two years - enough time for it to pump out lethal levels of the poisonous gas, which is invisible and does not smell.



Idiot!
