How to choose a CO detector:
Consider ease of installation, intended location and power source.
Plug-in types are easy to install - just plug them into any AC outlet. They are also easily moved around your home.
Battery-powered are also fairly easy to install and are portable if required.
Hard-wired are permanent and should be installed by an electrician.
Choose the features that meet your needs.
Digital displays are usually large and the LED numbers are easily read and quickly show the levels of CO, if present.
Battery back-ups are added protection if the power supply is interrupted.
Low Level Warning - is an early warning of CO, before the levels become dangerous.
Check carefully all the features or maintenance requirements with each detector.
Finally.. ensure your CO Detector is UL (Underwriter's Laboratories) approved.
