Carbon monoxide detectors



You are legally required to fit a carbon monoxide detector in rooms containing a solid fuel burning appliance, e.g., log burner or open fire. As gas appliances can also emit carbon monoxide, it's recommended that you also put a detector in any rooms that have gas or oil appliances, e.g., oven or boiler. In addition to installing carbon monoxide alarms, landlords are also required to fit smoke detectors on every floor of the property.
