IN A SINGLE-LEVEL HOME: Install at least one CO alarm near or
within each separate sleeping area. For added protection, install
an additional 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 additional 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.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends
that a CO alarm should be centrally located outside of each
separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms.
For added protection, install additional CO in alarms in each
separate bedroom, and install one on every level of your home. If
your hallway is longer than 40 feet (12 meters), bedroom CO
alarm at BOTH ends of the hallway.
