How it works

Determine placement

We identify the code-required and recommended locations — near sleeping areas, on every level and near attached garages.

Mount and connect

We install the detector at the correct height, connect wiring for hardwired units and test the power source.

Test the alarm

We press the test button on every unit and confirm the audible alarm is loud and clear.

We can help

Problems we fix

CO detectors installed too low — CO is similar in weight to air and distributes evenly, so placement matters less than for smoke, but units still need to be unobstructed
Expired detectors with electrochemical sensors past their 5–7 year service life
No detector near an attached garage, which is a common source of CO intrusion
Plug-in detectors in outlets that aren't energized after renovation work

Good to know

Carbon Monoxide Detector Install — FAQ

How long do CO detectors last?

Electrochemical CO sensors typically last 5–7 years regardless of battery life. The detector itself will signal end-of-life and needs to be replaced, not just re-batteried.

Where should CO detectors be placed?

On every level of the home, within 10 feet of every sleeping area and near any attached garage or fuel-burning appliance. We follow current safety guidelines.
