OfflineI would highly recommend getting carbon monoxide alarms in several areas of your house. Especially close to any rooms where children may be sleeping. Some smoke alarms that you purchase that go in the ceiling have carbon monoxide sensors in them. I have done research on this and found that by getting the sensors that plug into the outlets in your walls many times can work better, and can alarm you quicker of any dangerous fumes that may be harming you and your family. Carbon monoxide gasses actually go to the low points of the rooms first. Many gasses rise, but not Carbon Monoxide. So if you have your sensors plugged into the walls where the outlets are usually around 18” above the ground. They can notify you quicker than the ones that are mounted on the ceiling. You can pick up sensors at any of your home improvement stores and they range in price. Get a few that fit within your budget and get them installed. It is a very cost effective way to protect you and your love ones from this silent killer. Hope this information helps.
Happy Investing!
I like what Matt has suggested, about the carbon monoxide detectors. You would think that this is a NO BRAINER, Right?
In 70-75% of the homes I do inspections on, they have NO carbon monoxide detectors at all. Some homes have the combination fire/carbon monoxide detectors. These detectors give you the best protection from both fire and carbon monoxide.
20% of the homes have just one carbon monoxide detector, which is better than none. I recommend carbon monoxide detectors in main hallways, both upstairs and down.
For something so valuable and non-replaceable, you would think more people would take better care for the ones they love and cherish so much.
HAPPY REHABBING!!!
