Carbon Monoxide Detectors Edit page

In 2006, the Illinois General Assembly passed a new law (Public Act 94-741) which requires the placement of Carbon Monoxide Detectors within 15 feet of every room used for sleeping purposes in residences. This law is effective January 1, 2007.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends carbon monoxide (CO) detection and warning equipment to protect lives by warning occupants of the presence of CO. All units with a gas fireplace, gas stove, gas water heater have the potential for carbon monoxide poisoning. There are combination smoke and CO alarms which can satisfy both needs in one alarm.  For additional information, please click HERE.

Kidde hard-wired alarms can be interconnected with other brand hard-wired alarms, including interconnecting Ionization and photoelectric alarms.   

Please note that this is simply a suggested recommendation - not a requirement - to use Kidde products or those products listed. Owners may conduct independent research and determine the appropriate alarms to fit their personal needs.
