Carbon Monoxide Alarms
When you go to install a Carbon Monoxide detector its sitting position will depend on whether you will have a fuel burning appliance or not.
A room with a fuel burning appliance:
- Detectors should always be installed on the room's ceiling.
- Detector to be sited 1 to 3 metres from the Carbon Monoxide source.
- Must be sited at least 300mm from the room wall, light fittings, obstructions.
- Should the fuel burning appliance be installed in a small cupboard/room that covers the fuel burning appliance then the detector should be sited on the ceiling close to the cupboard/room.
In a room without a fuel burning appliance:
- Alarms should be sited at breathing height.
- If installed within a bedroom, this could be at the height of the bedhead.
