Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors

What is the difference between a carbon monoxide detector and a smoke detector?

A smoke detector is an electronic fire-protection device that quickly detects the presence of smoke, which is usually the first sign of fire. A carbon monoxide (CO) detector is designed to detect carbon monoxide only, which will not necessarily be present in the case of fire.

Do I need both a smoke and a carbon monoxide detector?

Smoke detectors are a must in all homes, and carbon monoxide detectors are needed for any home with fuel-burning appliances, such as a furnace, water heater, range, cooktop or grill.
