Carbon monoxide detection for the danger you can’t see or smell
Carbon monoxide has no color, no odor, and no warning of its own. A working CO detector is often the only signal a family gets before it’s too late.
How dangerous is carbon monoxide, really?
According to the CDC, carbon monoxide causes an estimated 500 deaths and over 15,000 emergency-room visits in the U.S. each year — and it’s invisible and odorless, so a working detector is often the only warning a family gets. Any home burning fossil fuels (gas, oil, wood) should have CO detection installed.
Where CO comes from — and who needs a detector
Carbon monoxide is produced by incomplete combustion — furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, gas ranges, and attached garages are the most common sources in a home. A growing number of states now require CO alarms in residences, and TruWatch recommends one in any home that burns fossil fuels, regardless of local requirements.
