in the basement. Therefore, alarms should
be placed on every level of a residence or
building. If the alarm is located outside of
a bedroom, it may not wake up a sound
sleeper, especially if the bedroom door is
closed or only partly open. If the alarm is
located on a different level of the residence
than the bedrooms, it is even less likely to
wake up people sleeping in the bedroom.
Installing CO alarms may qualify you for
lower homeowner’s insurance rates, but CO
alarms are not a substitute for insurance.
Homeowners and renters should continue to
insure their lives and property.
