@atmechanicalokc: Stay safe! make sure your carbon monoxide detectors are functioning correctly with the heat being on this winter! If you just want to be sure you can call A&T Mechanical to come service your system and sweep for carbon monoxide keeping you and your loved ones safe and warm. #yourquestionsanswered #educateyourself #okc #HVAC #hvaclife
Why do Carbon Monoxide detectors take batteries and also gets plugged in; I feel like I’m constantly changing the batteries.

•★JAYCEE★• (Gemi’s Version) :
So before I was born my parents and my two siblings moved to a new house for more space. The house that they moved into has gas though so my grandparents got my mom and dad carbon monoxide detectors. So when I was very little (like baby or toddler) it started going off and my parents got all of us out of the house. When 911 got to our house, they said if they hadn’t had gone off we wouldn’t have woken up the next day.

What about a natural gas and CO detector

Correct height between three and 5 feet

Why 18 inches? So the cat or dog can be alerted, but everyone else will be dead by then?

That is not true. Old wives tale to leave them low. C0 will typically rise.

CO is .96 specific gravity. It will rise and your detector high, not low. If it alarms low you will be red faced.

why do they make dual detectors smoke and co2

code says put them on the ceiling

Specific gravity of co is .975. almost the Same as air. they work fine up high.

This is kinda wrong. It’s not that they take hours. Most CO detectors won’t go off if they detect anything below 40PPM.

landonstreet626 :
Most carbon monoxide detectors are combined with a smoke detector. Which is put up high. It doesn’t matter the height as carbon monoxide mixes with the air. Carbon monoxide is not heavier or lighter than air.

If you don’t have any gas in the house what so ever it’s pointless to even have

Check the expiration date on the detector. The sensors expire

The UL code requires that they sense slowly at low concentrations and quickly at high concentrations, similar to how the human body reacts to

no. code is on the ceiling

So why does my state require the hard wired ones that are in the ceiling smoke detectors 🤦🏻♀️

Not 100% true. I mounted one in garage ceiling and I had my gas blower in there blowing dirt and leaves out and the sensor went off

Co2 detectors work perfectly and as designed, when ceiling mounted.
Mount near the floor and the whole place has to Fill Up, from Ceiling to Floor, for it to be detected in low placement 😞

So they have to be installed low? Not on the ceiling?
