The main unit also speaks a warning in a calm English female voice when it detects smoke or CO in a room. A study of more than 27,000 properties by the Liverpool John Moores University, supported by the Merseyside and West Midlands Fire Services, found that less than 10% of homes have a single carbon monoxide alarm to protect occupants from this deadly gas.

It depends on the length of exposure, but the real danger level starts at around 400ppm (two to three hours of exposure at this level can be life-threatening).

Each alarm offers a variety of features and functionality so there should be a detector to suit every budget and every person’s preferences with optional sealed or replaceable battery power, combined smoke and CO detector units, 5, 7 or 10 year warranties available, optional LCD display screen and much more.

Safety Features

There are many special features that can help protect you and your home, or make your safety products easier to maintain and operate. Thankfully, there’s an early-warning solution in the form of a carbon monoxide alarm that costs only a few pounds more than a smoke alarm. Until recently most CO alarms ran from a set of removable AA or AAA batteries, which may need to be replaced every three to five years.Sealed battery units have a lifetime of five to ten years, after which the battery will run out and the whole unit will need to be replaced. Landlords, please see our pages for English, Welsh, and Scottish alarms or our landlord guidance page for more information. The only thing to watch out for is that it’s powered by a pair of AA batteries which need replacing roughly every two years We had no issues whatsoever during tests, but it means this alarm won’t be compliant with the new Scottish regulations.
