Protecting your family is important. There are many things out there that can harm us, and one of those happens to be Carbon Monoxide. It is deadly because it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. It can sneak up on us and cause symptoms that mimic the flu. If not caught, it can cause lethal levels of dosage that can be detrimental to you and your family. Do you want to take that risk?
Having enough of these in your home is important because like your smoke detector you need to ensure you can monitor these levels on every floor of your house including the basement, and in every bedroom, whether they are yours, children, or that newborn.
I am participating with Tom’s Take On Things and First Alert to help give one of these monitors away. This particular model has a back-lit display, and can measure the temperature where it is as well. They can be mounted on the wall, or sit nicely on a shelf, or dresser. The First Alert CO710 Carbon Monoxide Alarm has a battery that lasts 10 years, with no need to change them for the life of the alarm. After about 10 years it will alert you when the battery has expired and you will need to replace the unit.

This sounds like a wonderful carbon monoxide detector. We do have one that we keep upstairs. However, It’s a number of years old. We do test it at least twice per year.
abfantom says
We have a carbon monoxide upstairs by our bedrooms, but would like to add one downstairs. We replaced or CO detector last year. I have to admit that I only test it occasionally
cynthiac says
I have a monitor, but it’s very old and has not been tested.
Christina Sparks says
I do not currently have a Carbon Monoxide detector in my home. I need to buy one.
Marty C. says
I have a monitor, but I didn’t know you were supposed to test them weekly! I probably need to replace it anyhow; they don’t last forever and I bought it when we first moved into our house, seven years ago or so.
Austin Baroudi says
I don’t currently have one in my apartment. I should really get one though. Thanks so much for the chance!

Yes we have one, but don’t do a weekly test. Thinking now we should.

I do not currently have a Carbon Monoxide detector in my home. I have been thinking about getting one. Especially, after all the horrible news stories.
David Smith says
We have a carbon monoxide detector, but I have no idea if it works and it looks like it is about 30-40 years old anyway. We really could use a new one since we heat with natural gas wall heater that doesn’t appear to be vented, just has a power cord and gas line to it and it is bolted to the wall.
Marilyn Nawara says
I have combination smoke/carbon detectors in my house. I also have a First Alert Carbon Monoxide Detector plugged into the bedroom wall.

I hope I got the URL right to a pin I pinned of yours. I got a cell phone and I’m trying to do this from there.
I don’t know how to do it, but I am trying!!
Richard Hicks says
We have one in the kitchen. I don’t check it too often but it will let you know when battery is low.
Amy Deeter says

Naddez says
No, I don’t have any carbon monoxide detectors in my home.
Kelly Hubbard says
We have one and I hope I never have to find out if it works.. It scares me the idea of carbon monixide poisoning
MnLady says
We don’t have one as our old one broke and we never got around to getting new one. I think we better!
Carol Spierdowis Dupre says
Great safety measure to have.
