Carbon Monoxide Detectors – Essential Protection Against CO Poisoning

Safeguard your home with carbon monoxide detectors, critical devices designed to detect carbon monoxide (CO), a silent, odorless gas produced by fuel-burning appliances like boilers, gas fires, wood burners, and open flues. These carbon monoxide alarams provide early warnings to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, a serious health risk. Modern carbon monoxide detectors offer advanced features such as wireless connectivity and smart technology. 

Why Install Carbon Monoxide Detectors?

Carbon monoxide detectors are essential for any home with fuel-burning appliances. They monitor CO levels and sound an alarm when dangerous concentrations are detected, giving you time to ventilate or evacuate.

Key features of today’s Carbon Monoxide alarms include:

  • Power Options: Choose mains-powered carbon monoxide detectors or battery-operated CO detectors with long-life lithium batteries (up to 10 years).
  • Smart Connectivity: Brands like Aico offer smartLINK CO detectors with wireless interconnection, app alerts and remote monitoring for real-time notifications.
  • Combined Detection: Models like the combined smoke and CO detectors provide comprehensive safety, ideal for kitchens and living spaces.
  • Landlord Compliance: Smart carbon monoxide alarms provide maintenance reports on battery life, faults, and end-of-life status, streamlining property management.

Scotland Fire Safety Law Compliance

Since February 2022, Scotland’s fire safety laws require all homes, including private rentals and new builds, to have interlinked fire and smoke alarms. Additionally, a carbon monoxide detector is mandatory in rooms with carbon-fuelled appliances (e.g., boilers, wood burners, or flues), though CO alarms do not need to be interlinked. Carbon monoxide detectors can be mains-powered or tamper-proof long-life battery models, ensuring flexibility for compliance. The Scottish Government offers £500,000 in funding to assist eligible older and disabled homeowners with installation costs, in partnership with Care and Repair Scotland.
