Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odorless gas that poses a severe risk to homeowners and families. Often termed the "silent killer," it originates from incomplete combustion in household appliances.

Carbon monoxide can rapidly fill your home without warning, leading to impaired judgment and potentially fatal outcomes. Prolonged exposure results in symptoms ranging from headaches to unconsciousness. Crucially, CO incidents are preventable. 

Installing CO detectors in key areas provides critical alerts, safeguarding your family against this dangerous hazard. Awareness and action are your best defenses.

What is the recommended lifespan of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors?

• Smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years, and carbon monoxide detectors have a lifespan of 5 to 7 years, depending on the manufacturer's recommendations.

How often should I test my smoke and carbon monoxide detectors?

Can smoke and carbon monoxide detectors be interconnected, and what are the benefits?
