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, the children, or that newborn.
Tom’s Take On Things and First Alert are helping 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.

We do not have carbon monoxide detectors in our home. They’re one of those things that I think about buying and installing but never get around to it. I know they’re just as important as fire detectors, too.
We have detectors but I’m not great about testing them….or even making sure they are always plugged in! I’m not sure why. I’m usually very safety conscious with most things.
We don’t have one. We just moved into our new home and haven’t gotten one.
we have a few here and they’re pretty new but don’t test weekly
I need one. A friend died many, many years ago, but I haven’t forgotten that tragedy. That was before the invention of these useful devices.
I really need a new carbon monoxide detector. Thanks for the chance.
I do not have a carbon monoxide detector in my home.

I have a carbon monoxide detector, but I don’t check it every week It is the kind you plug in the wall.
I currently have a carbon monoxide detector at home; however, I am looking to upgrade the one that I have.

I don’t own a carbon dioxide detector. I only have a smoke detector that I check often.
I don’t have a carbon monoxide detector. I’ve always wanted one due to concern of a gas leak when everyone is sleeping!
We only have one on the second floor of our house. Honestly, we do not remember to test them regulary. We could really use one for our first floor but honestly, I don’t think about it when we are out.
We don’t have one in the house but after reading this blog post I think we better get one.I like the fact that the battery last ten years and it alerts you when the time is up.
I do have one. I do not test it weekly. I’d like to have one to take with me when I travel.
That sounds like a great idea! I need to check myself if they have smaller portable ones! ~Tom
We did have a carbon monoxide detector for years, but it unfortunately stopped working. I need to replace it but seem to not remember to get one when I’m shopping.
You can also buy one on Amazon, for a good price, just check for the link in my post! ~Tom
