How to stay safe:

✅ Install CO alarms on every level of the home—especially near sleeping areas.

✅ Choose alarms with digital displays so you can see real-time levels.

✅ Test your alarms monthly and replace batteries twice a year.

✅ Never run vehicles or generators in garages, even with the door open.

✅ Have appliances professionally inspected annually, including gas stoves, fireplaces, and furnaces.

✅ Use exhaust fans while cooking—especially with gas burners.

For added safety, some devices now monitor both CO and CO₂ in one unit. These are especially helpful in bedrooms, nurseries, and basements.
