Carbon monoxide, or CO, is a poisonous gas emitted from household items that are defective, and as a result are burning fuel incompletely. Unlike other CO alarms, the FA3820 features a pre-alarm warning which encourages ventilation of your property when low levels of carbon monoxide are detected. The sensor within the unit will deteriorate after 10 years, so to ensure you're protected, we recommend you replace the unit after this time.Do not install CO alarms within 3 metres of doors or windows, above radiators, or immediately close to anything that gives off steam or fumes like a cooker or shower room.

It’s created in our homes when the fuel in products, such as boilers, fires and ovens does not burn completely.

Regular servicing of these products can reduce the risk of CO being present, but it cannot completely remove the risk. Where your alarm is installed can trigger nuisance alarms if not correctly placed, for example too close to doors or windows.
