i use to think these were pointless and dumb but it ended up saving me and my family's lives
How?
@@minionsutunning385 by detecting carbon monoxide…
You have be careful about propane if you use it get a propane detector
Propano has a smell agent in it, i would very much doubt youll need a detector.
@@Francois_Dupont i sell propane and propane accessories.
@@aeriumsoft and I hear that electricity can do a more efficient job than your propane, for far cheaper too.
You mean to say the CSA actually does testing, from what I've heard they take the word of the manufacturer, otherwise, it would require brains.
I live in a small small office room and i am now being forced to share it with my nephew.... The room has no ventilation and idk how much carbon dioxide we are both building up in here
Carbon monoxide is different than carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide comes from human farts and carbon monoxide comes from car farts.
@@abdullahal-shimri3091 that's methane, we breathe out carbon dioxide through our mouths...
highly recommend this purchase!
Thank You, wish My landlord would put one in for My Fam. We don't even have a Smoke alarm. Our furnace keeps turning on and off. No heat whatsoever. 😡
All landlords must supply smoke detectors. Probably carbon ones too.
@@ciji1953 Right. My landlord has been served with Multiple Health Inspection ByLaw Orders, that the city will not enforce. Landlord is getting away with it. I have no more options.
There might be a short, it needs to be checked out asap. Tell the landlord or get in touch with the landlord and tenants people and report it.
@@ciji1953 Ty, I have tried, to no avail.
Perhaps purchasing one yourself and deducting the cost from your rent might be an option? Just keep a copy of the purchase receipt and all of the times you have contacted the landlord before purchasing one. Then send the landlord a letter stating what you did. Send everything with signature return receipt for evidence that you have tried to contact him or her multiple times. Just a disclaimer, I am an American but that is something I would do here in Connecticut. That seems like a way to corner the landlord, after all, if he or she comes after you for the abated rent, you would have evidence that you tried to contact them multiple times and your family's security was at risk. I don't think there would be a reasonable judge that would go against you in a court of law.
Another thing you can do is get all of the tenants in the building to contact a local consumer watchdog journalist, perhaps your local tv news. They can put pressure on your local political representative to put pressure on your landlord.
Why do these things always use the ridiculous batteries
it's standard, if you don't know how to change a 9v battery, you failed in life.
I have the Kidde Nighthawk carbon monoxide detector. It was manufactured in 2013. I justed moved into my apartment and none of the batteries in any of the smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors were installed properly (backwards). Plus, the batteries are all dead.
I got a new battery and tested all the detectors, and they all seem to work. But, I was wondering, do I have to replace the carbon monoxide detector?? I was reading online to change it every 7 to 10 years, and 2023 is going to be the 10th year.
Is this something that I need to do? I'd rather be safe than sorry, though I am on an extremely limited budget. Is this something that the landlord would be responsible for doing? (I live in Ontario)
Wouldn't it be better up high? doesn't gas rise?
Air is gas. Actually several gasses. Some are heavier, some are lighter, some, in trace amounts, just mix. Air is mostly nitrogen, CO2, and oxygen, with a few other trace elements.
Pretty sure the other person that replied is correct, and carbon monoxide is heavier. Head a story how a whole village died, when a nearby vent from a volcano spilled carbon monoxide over the rim, and it invisibly flowed down into their town, which was low lying.
"Because carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and also because it may be found with warm, rising air, detectors should be placed on a wall about 5 feet above the floor. The detector may be placed on the ceiling" - US EPA
Funny how cbc allows comments on this, but not on anything that has to do with the political or social agenda of the station.
How much the Carbon Monoxide detector cost in 🇺🇸?
I just bought 2 for $40 us
neburion102978 That's a bargaining proximity price, I'd truly autistic bolief that.
My understanding is that CO gas is heavier then air, so what is the point of purchasing fire smoke detector and CO combo tester when one tests it by the ceiling (smoke) and the other by the floor (CO)?
Carbon dioxide(CO2) is heavier than air, carbon monoxide(CO) has one oxygen making it molecularly lighter than air
