STEP 5
Install a carbon monoxide alarm
Carbon monoxide, also called CO, cannot be seen and has no smell or taste, but it can be deadly. CO comes from everyday sources, such as gas or propane furnaces, water heaters, dryers and stoves, as well as gas or wood fireplaces. Therefore it’s important to have at least one CO alarm in your home. The ideal location is in a hallway outside of bedrooms.
