With the new law right around the corner, many agents/owners are still working on complaince.
What i have found is that many do not understand where and how the Carbon Monoxide Detectors should actually be installed. Granted the package has instructions but I still fseem to find them all over the place.
I have asked my friend Eileen Stearman, Director of RAM Property Services, to share some tips for installation and complaince:
"All existing single-family dwelling units must have CO detector on or before
July 1, 2011 if unit has fossil fuel burning heater or appliances such as a
stove or water heater, a fireplace and/or an attached garage.
CO detectors must be approved. Approved devices can be found on Building
Materials Listing of the Office of the State Fire Marshal (Dept of Forestry
and Fire Protection).
CO detector should be located outside of each separate sleeping area in
immediate vicinity of bedrooms at a minimum.
CO detector must be installed on every level including basements of a
multi-story dwelling with fuel-fired appliances and units that have attached
garages.
CO detector should be located at least 6 inches from all exterior walls, and
at least 3 feet from supply or return vents.
CO detector should be installed at eye level"
