Carbon Monoxide Alarm for Gas Appliances

If you have a gas appliance in the home at all, stove, furnace, anything in the home running off a gas, you should have a carbon monoxide detector in the home.

The problem is with the CO part of it, or the carbon monoxide part is that when it's up high on the ceiling, that's not doing you any good whatsoever because carbon monoxide is heavy. So the best thing to do is put it on floor level with the outlets on the floor on the wall. That is where it needs to go. If it's up there high in the ceiling on top of the wall, it's good for a smoke alarm, but it's not good for a co. Al.
