Expert Carbon Monoxide Alarm Installation Service in London
The Critical Need for Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odorless, and tasteless gas that can be deadly in high concentrations. It is produced during the combustion of fuels like gas, wood, coal, and oil. Due to its undetectable nature, CO is often referred to as the “silent killer.” To protect yourself and your loved ones from the dangers of CO poisoning, it is crucial to install carbon monoxide alarms in key areas of your property. In the UK, it is a legal requirement to install CO alarms in rooms with solid fuel-burning appliances, such as log-burning stoves.
For added safety, it is also recommended to install CO detectors in rooms with gas appliances. Early detection is vital in preventing CO poisoning, making these alarms lifesaving devices for your home or business. Contact Commercial Gas London today for expert installation and safety solutions to protect your property and loved ones.

FAQs: About Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Install carbon monoxide alarms at head height, approximately 1 to 3 meters away from potential sources of CO, such as gas appliances, fireplaces, or stoves. Avoid placing them directly above such sources to ensure accurate detection. GOV.UK
Yes, under UK law, carbon monoxide alarms are mandatory in any room used as living accommodation that contains a fixed combustion appliance (excluding gas cookers). This applies to both private and social rented homes.
Regularly test your CO alarm by pressing the test button. If the alarm sounds, it is functioning correctly. Replace the batteries annually or as recommended by the manufacturer. For alarms with sealed batteries, replace the entire unit as per the manufacturer's guidelines.
If your CO alarm sounds, immediately evacuate the property, open windows to ventilate, and call emergency services. Do not re-enter the property until professionals have confirmed it is safe.
While it's possible to install a CO alarm yourself, it's recommended to hire a professional to ensure correct placement and installation, particularly in compliance with UK regulations. Professional installation ensures optimal safety and adherence to legal requirements.
