Smoke Detectors

Smoke detectors are a mandatory item and life saving tool in homes today but Carbon Monoxide detectors are an equally but sometimes ignored important safety addition in todays modern home that have a source of combustion used in the heating or cooking processes ( natural gas, propane or wood ) An unknown issue is the life of these types of safety tool other than the well publicised need to change batteries on some styles annually. The internal monitoring cell can become unreliable or fail completely without indication after approx 12 years (Carbon Monoxide detectors 5 year life) so continued testing of this device should be part of awareness in the home.
