To safeguard elderly parents read our elderly solutions guide and local Fire and Rescue Services can perform ‘Safe and Well’ checks if the occupier is vulnerable.

A quiet self‑test allows you to ensure your alarm is working, without disturbing anyone else with a loud alarm. A single press of the test button will perform a quiet self test, with the alarm volume at least 10dB below the full volume of your alarm. A double press of the test button will perform a self test at full alarm volume (85dB@3M).

When a Carbon Monoxide alarm is triggered, it will emit an alarm sound consisting of 4 loud beeps and a break repeated until the sensor is clear of Carbon Monoxide gas.

From October 1st 2022, the law is changing surrounding carbon monoxide alarms in rented properties – for both the private and social sectors. As a private or social landlord, you will need to ensure you have a working carbon monoxide alarm 1‑3 metres away from any fuel burning appliances in a property (excluding gas cookers) and that any faults or repairs are carried out on the alarm in a timely manner. 

Carbon Monoxide is produced when fuels burn incompletely – this could be from a boiler, gas fire, oven, log burner or a blocked flue or chimney. It can also travel through walls from adjoining properties, so as well as having an alarm next to appliances in your property we would also advise you have one in living spaces and bedrooms. To help prevent a Carbon Monoxide leak we advise getting your appliances regularly serviced by reputable engineers who are gas safety registered.
