Position of CO detector with loft boiler


Recommended Posts

This seems like a silly question.

 

House with a traditional cold roof, and the boiler in the roof.

 

Is a CO detector needed, and if so where?

 

I think the answers are probably no and nowhere. But it is a rented house and fitting one is "best practice" (not "required"), so obv I normally fit one near the boiler.

 

In this case I think I will not fit one as CO rises.

 

Can anyone see any problems?

In Scotland a CO detector IS required ion a rental property, in the same rom as the appliance so up in the loft.  Choose a mains powered interlinked one so when it goes off, the smoke alarms in the house where they are audible will go off.
