WHERE TO INSTALL
CO ALARMS
The Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) recommends the use of at least one CO
Alarm per household, located near the sleeping
area. For added protection, install additional
CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on
every level of your home.
If your bedroom hallway is longer than 40 feet,
install a CO Alarm at BOTH ends of the hallway.
In a Single-level Home:
• Install at least one CO Alarm near or
within each separate sleeping area.
• For added protection, install an additional
CO Alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away
from the furnace or fuel burning heat
source.
In a Multi-level Home:
• Install at least one CO Alarm near or
within each separate sleeping area.
• For added protection, install at least one
CO Alarm on each level of the home. If
you have a basement, install that CO
Alarm at the top of the basement stairs.
• For added protection, install an additional
CO Alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away
from the furnace or fuel burning heat
source.
