RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION REC-

OMMENDATIONS

If bedroom doors are usually closed at night,

alarms should be placed in each bedroom as well as

in the common hallway between them. CO alarms

may not sense CO on a different level of a resi-

dence or building. For example, a second floor

alarm may not sense a CO leak on the first floor or

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 bed-

room 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

Figure 1: Recommended CO alarm protection

for multi-level residence.

Please note that the Quantum Guardian model

QG100 is the only retail alarm approved for

use in “Unconditioned Space” such as

garages, basements and attics.
