Carbon Monoxide Detectors & Alarms

Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors and alarms are vital safety installations that provide continuous monitoring of CO levels through electrochemical sensors. These Grade A devices offer immediate alert activation when detecting dangerous concentrations of this lethal, odourless gas.

Professional installation requires strategic positioning: one unit per floor level, with particular attention to sleeping quarters and proximity to combustion appliances. For optimal detection, mount units 1.5 metres from ground level, maintaining a minimum clearance of 1 metre from potential CO sources. Avoid installation near ventilation points or high-airflow areas to prevent reading interference.

Current UK regulations mandate CO alarm installation in properties with fixed combustion appliances (excluding gas cookers) for landlord compliance. While not universally required for private homes, specification and installation are strongly recommended as part of comprehensive safety systems.

Our trade stock includes leading manufacturers: Aico, Appleby, Deta Electrical, FireAngel, Hispec and Kidde Safety – all offering BSI-approved products suitable for professional installation.

Protect your clients from the silent killer with our top-of-the-line Carbon Monoxide Detectors & Alarms. As a crucial component of our FIRE & SECURITY range, these devices offer safety for residential and commercial spaces alike.

Our CO detectors integrate with other Fire Detection Devices and Fire Alarm Systems Components, creating a comprehensive safety network. While installing these life-saving devices, consider complementing them with our Fire Protection Accessories for a complete safety solution.

To ensure ongoing safety and compliance, recommend that your clients maintain separate log books: one for fire safety measures and another for CO detector checks. While Fire Safety Log Books are essential for tracking fire alarm tests and other fire safety measures, a dedicated CO safety log helps monitor regular CO detector checks and maintenance.
