Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless poisonous gas that is a byproduct of combustion. Stoves, heaters, water heaters, and heat pumps are potential sources of CO. In order to keep your home safe, safety experts recommend that you install least one carbon monoxide alarm near sleeping areas in your home—but there are other areas that should be protected as well.

Keep in mind that according to the New State Building Code Requeriment effective January 1, 2011, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms should be installed in the folowing locations:

• In all bedrooms (only require smoke alarms unless bedrooms contain a gas appliance then a carbon monoxide alarm is required as well)
• Immediate outside of each separate bedroom. (require smoke and carbon monoxide alarms)
• In each story of the dwelling, including basements and habitable attic rooms (require smoke and carbon monoxide alarms)
