Alarms that receive their power from your home's electrical system (hardwired alarms) usually have a back-up battery that will need to be replaced once or twice a year. Compact and lightweight battery-powered digital CO alarm provides essential protection against the dangers of deadly carbon monoxide and provides continuous monitoring of CO levels. It also packs in a 3cm LCD panel, which displays a real-time measurement if CO levels get beyond 30 parts per million, along with the battery level. It is also worth noting that while one detector is better than no detectors at all, larger homes may require several detectors to cover the property fully.

We have put together a range of detectors from the industry’s leading manufacturers Kidde, FireAngel, First Alert, Honeywell and Ei Electronics. The Nest Protect passed our sealed incense test with flying colours: the smoke alarm went off first, followed by the CO alarm five minutes later; according to the app, the CO level was 414ppm and increasing. A digital LCD display screen shows CO levels at all times and allows the highest CO level recorded to be displayed. The Nest Protect is very easy to set up: simply remove the battery tab, launch the app, log in to your Wi-Fi, give it a name (kitchen, lounge and so on) and mount it in a suitably elevated place on a wall.Tests in the US have shown that alarms over eight years old can fail to detect CO at levels of above 400ppm. Two Duracell batteries are included in the box alongside a wall mounting plate and fixings (for new installations), or the K5CO can be left free standing if preferred. com/image/upload/w_350,q_auto,f_auto/v1647930469/kidde/home-safety/product/PDP%20Page%20Images/P4010ACSCOAQ-WF_pwp.

This means that no matter where you are in the home, there should always be at least one alarm within earshot, whether it’s for smoke, CO or sudden extreme heat. Most legislation advises at least one carbon monoxide alarm is fitted near new or replacement fuel-burning appliances that are fixed installations, though rented properties (both social and private sector) often require CO alarms be provided by landlords even if no appliances are being installed or replaced.
