And while home fires represent 40% of all types of fires, they\u2019re responsible for 73% of fire deaths. Most of these deaths could be prevented by taking a few precautions, including properly installing and regularly testing smoke alarms throughout your home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of smoke alarms required within your home varies depending on several factors including <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">when your home was built, the style of your home and where it\u2019s located. Remember, however, that it\u2019s always better to err on the side of caution and install too many than too few.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Smoke alarm dos and don\u2019ts<\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install in extremely hot or cold areas&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install in dirty or dusty areas<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install anywhere there could be a draft \u2013 near a window or door, exhaust vents, duct work, etc<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install directly over a sink, cooker, stove, oven or inside or below a cupboard<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paint over them<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove battery from smoke detector to stop a nuisance alarm.

Even in the early stages of exposure to this deadly gas, people can become quite ill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CO is created whenever you burn fuels such as oil, coal, wood, gasoline, propane and natural gas. While CO can be present in your home or cottage at any time of the year, the risk is greater in winter months because homes in Canada are usually heated by furnaces, wood stoves, water heaters or boilers and other appliances that run on fuels. These devices can release CO into your home if they\u2019re not installed correctly or if they malfunction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another note of caution comes during heavy snowfalls and cold snaps, as heat vents on the outside of your home can become blocked by snow or ice. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to keep an eye on your outdoor vents and clear a path as needed. Otherwise, CO can\u2019t escape and, instead, flows right back into your home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to note than a CO alarm and monitor are different items. An alarm will alert the homeowner only when levels are deemed too high, while a monitor is constantly scanning for CO in a home and can act as an early warning system. Although an alarm is more common, a monitoring system is highly recommended \u2013 especially in a home with an older furnace and young children.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>CO alarm dos and don\u2019ts<\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install in direct sunlight<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install in an area of high humidity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install anywhere there could be a draft \u2013 near a window or door, exhaust vents, duct work, etc<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install in close proximity to any fuel-burning appliance (about 20 feet away)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install one on every floor<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install within earshot of every bedroom<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install near an attached garage, especially if you store your vehicle inside<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install within five feet of the ground<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow manufacturer\u2019s specifications<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check it once a month by pushing the test button<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replace about every five years<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find an Inspector near you: <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/abuyerschoice.com\/locations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/abuyerschoice.com\/locations<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/abuyerschoice.com\/locations\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3419\" src=\"https:\/\/abuyerschoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Blog-Image2-Apr-May-2019-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"FInd a Home Inspector in your area\" width=\"851\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abuyerschoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Blog-Image2-Apr-May-2019-1-1.jpg 851w, https:\/\/abuyerschoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Blog-Image2-Apr-May-2019-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/abuyerschoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Blog-Image2-Apr-May-2019-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 851px) 100vw, 851px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ensuring your smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms are properly installed in your home and remain in good working order should be part of your regular home maintenance routine to make sure they protect your family and home when you need them most.
