Believe me, I know
A close friend of mines family here where I live in Connecticut, many years ago lost 3 children under the age of 10 in a devastating co tragedy.(you can look it up. Suffield,Ct. 1993) Carbon monoxide is nothing to screw around with.
I am in the middle of some big renovations to my 100 year old home. I already have a smoke detector in every bedroom and co detector near my furnace. Building inspector came in the other day and “suggested” some additional ones. So I am adding one in the new finished basement, one on each of the two upper floors and replacing the older unit by the furnace. But I’m $5k over budget now and hardwiring in a 100 year old house is obscene. So I went with these.
Please people, don’t mess around. These are pretty damn cheap insurance. Just do it. Now. You know you will be glad you did. I am. I’m actually grateful to the inspector, he got me off my butt.
These are inexpensive but very reliable and dependable units. Will take you about 5 minutes to install. What my local fire department recommended. I want to sleep soundly and most importantly, wake up with my whole family.
Thanks for reading
