CHAPTER 2: Installation
WHERE TO INSTALL
CO ALARMS
The Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) recommends the use of at least one
CO Alarm per household, located near the
sleeping area. For added protection, install
additional CO Alarms in each separate
bedroom, and on every level of your home.
If your bedroom hallway is longer than 40 feet,
install a CO Alarm at BOTH ends of the hallway.
In a Single-level Home:
• Install at least one CO Alarm near or
within each separate sleeping area.
• For added protection, install an addi-
tional CO Alarm at least 20 feet (6
meters) away from the furnace or fuel
burning heat source.
In a Multi-level Home:
• Install at least one CO Alarm near or
within each separate sleeping area.
• For added protection, install at least one
CO Alarm on each level of the home. If
you have a basement, install that CO
Alarm at the top of the basement stairs.
• For added protection, install an addi-
tional CO Alarm at least 20 feet (6
meters) away from the furnace or fuel
burning heat source.
In a Mobile Home:
• Install CO Alarms on inside walls ONLY.
Uninsulated outside walls and roofs of
mobile homes often transfer heat and
cold from outdoors.
