Neither. https://www.safety.com/carbon-monoxi...lacement/#gref The instructions that came with my Kidde CO detector said to place it on a wall at least six inches from the ceiling to avoid dead spots. The "high" recommendation is that the CO you're detecting is almost certainly a product of combustion, therefore heated and (a little) lighter than air. At a customer site, the fire inspector said I needed to install a CO detector outside the boiler room. I asked him how high to place it on the wall, and he was pretty well stumped, as if he had never thought about it before. Gave me a real warm fuzzy feeling. |

It is plugged into a receptacle normal height from the floor. Inspector could check his box on the form! |

Mounting co detector
Under normal conditions CO has the same density as air which makes placement less of a major concern. Outside of heat sources that can produce CO, it is recommended that the detector be at least eye level.
