Carbon monoxide has no smell, colour or taste, and it kills by stealth — often while people sleep. It's produced by any burning fuel: gas boilers, wood stoves, camping stoves used indoors, generators and paraffin heaters. In an emergency, when people improvise heating and cooking, the risk spikes. A CO alarm is the only reliable warning you'll get.
It's a small, inexpensive device that quite literally saves lives. Every home with a fuel-burning appliance should have one, and a portable unit is essential in caravans, boats, and anywhere you might run a stove or heater during a power cut.
Fit one near sleeping areas and any fuel-burning appliance at home, and take a portable unit when using gas or solid-fuel heating and cooking away from mains power — caravans, boats, cabins. Crucially, never run a camping stove, barbecue or generator in an enclosed space, alarm or not; the alarm is a last line of defence, not a licence.
A sealed long-life battery means a decade of protection with no forgotten battery changes — ideal for a device you must not let go flat.
A screen showing CO levels lets you see a problem building before the alarm point, and confirm the air is clear afterwards.
A portable unit covers caravans, boats and power-cut heating; a loud 85dB+ alarm wakes you from sleep, which is when CO is most dangerous.
No alarm makes it safe to run a camp stove, BBQ or generator in a closed room or tent. Keep them outdoors — the alarm is a backup, not permission.
An untested alarm may be dead when it matters. Press the test button periodically and replace the unit at its end-of-life date.
