Going off of that last question, something you’ll want to consider when shopping for a carbon monoxide detector is it’s important to you to have that LCD screen that provides a current numerical reading. Some carbon monoxide detectors have LCD screens that will not light up unless carbon monoxide is present. Others have readers that will light up at any time but will not alert you unless the level of gas gets up above a certain number.
Some carbon monoxide detectors double as smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are another important device to have in your home to ensure your safety and protection. Because smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are usually placed at different heights on the wall, you’ll want to do good research if you’re buying a two-in-one device to make sure it can accurately pick up any threat.
As you shop for a carbon monoxide detector, you’ll want to keep in mind how many detectors you need to buy. As we mentioned before, you want at least one carbon monoxide detector on each level in your home. If your home is especially large or wide, two detectors might be necessary for each level. Some carbon monoxide detectors on this list are sold in packages that include two or even three detectors. Others just include one carbon monoxide detector per purchase.
You’ll also want to think about how you would like to power these detectors. Usually, batteries are not included, so you’ll want to factor in the cost of batteries to your overall purchase cost. You’ll also want to make sure your carbon monoxide detector includes any equipment necessary for mounting the detector on your wall or ceiling.
A: All carbon monoxide detectors are either battery-powered or plugged into the wall. Many carbon monoxide detectors that operate by being plugged into the wall also include a battery backup power option in case of emergencies. Usually, a carbon monoxide detector that is battery-powered will run either off of three AAA batteries or one 9V battery.
A: Almost always, carbon monoxide detectors will sound a loud alarm to alert you of danger. It’s a good idea to periodically test this alarm to ensure that it’s working properly and can be heard throughout your entire home. If your home has multiple levels, you’ll want to have a carbon monoxide detector on each individual level. Some carbon monoxide detectors also have a backlit LCD screen that will give you a specific reading of the levels of any carbon monoxide present in the area.
