Product Information

FireAngel is a major player in the field of CO, fire and smoke detection and this unique system is clearly a clever, albeit pricey, way to protect the entire household in one fell swoop. It complies with all British standards, including the new ones, is easy to set up and install, and comes highly recommended by myself at Safe Secure Homes. A Department for Business and Trade spokesman said: "We take public safety extremely seriously which is why we are consulting on modernising our product safety framework to hold online marketplaces to account, ensuring items sold online meet the same standards as on the high street. DIGITAL DISPLAY & INDICATOR LIGHT – The digital display screen shows the real-time CO level in the environment. The three indicator lights show you the current status of the CO alarm: the green light flashing slowly means the CO alarm works properly; the yellow light means an error/fault; the red light warns you the CO level is above the normal level. The warning chirp is as loud as 85dB. We recommend replacing your alarm when you need to change your battery – which is about every five years. What are the potential sources of carbon monoxide poisoning?

All of these concentrations are bad enough when you’re awake and realise that something isn’t quite right – especially if others are feeling a similar effect – but if you’re asleep, you may wake up with a severe headache and nausea and be incapable of even crawling for fresh air. Worse, you might not even wake up at all. Why should I be concerned? In terms of placement of this safety product, it should be placed near to or nearby any fixed combustion appliance, such as boilers, heaters, and open fires. The Nest Protect is very easy to set up: simply remove the battery tab, launch the app, log in to your Wi-Fi, give it a name (kitchen, lounge and so on) and mount it in a suitably elevated place on a wall. It’s a really poignant statistic, especially considering the fact that 100% of these deaths were needless and entirely avoidable with the assistance of a simple carbon monoxide (CO) detector that would audibly alarm when CO levels reached a specific threshold.It’s really important for things like carbon monoxide detectors to fit in effortlessly within their surroundings, and not to be too elaborate, big or fussy, especially considering that a lot of people like to live in clutter free environments, with minimalistic features. The power indicator will flash periodically to tell you there is power to the unit, whislt the other two will flash if the unit is in alarm or there is a fault. Use & Installation Symptoms of mild carbon monoxide poisoning include: slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue. Symptoms of medium carbon monoxide poisoning include: severe headache, drowsiness, confusion and fast heart rate. Symptoms of extreme carbon monoxide poisoning include: unconsciousness, convulsions, cardiorespiratory failure, death. Feeling immediately better after leaving your house is another sign that you may be experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning. What to do in an event of a CO incident? Don’t think that CO alarms are just for your home, either. They’re essential for caravans and motorhomes, and you might even want to take one on holiday if you’re staying in a cottage or self-catering accommodation. Are there any features worth looking out for?

If you want it to be fixed to a wall, you’ll need a drill. However, if you want it on the wall, why bother with drills and screws, potentially damaging plaster and a skimmed surface? The best carbon monoxide alarms you can buy in 2023 1. Nest Protect: Best smart CO and smoke detector

Why your home may need a carbon monoxide alarm

The fact that it comes with two types of ‘attachment’ is a big plus in my opinion, as unlike most smoke detectors, a CO detector can be stood up on a surface, like a kitchen worktop for example. Carbon monoxide sensors have a finite lifespan of between five and seven years, although a few manufacturers now claim that their sensors will last a full ten years. Generally speaking, it’s worth playing it safe and replacing your alarm a year or two before its life is supposed to run out. Tests in the US have shown that alarms over eight years old can fail to detect CO at levels of above 400ppm. There are two buttons on this detector, one is the ‘test’ button, allowing you to test if the unit is working. Gently pressing the test button emits an audible alarm to tell you it is working. the second button is the menu button, which transfers unit of measurement between PPm and COHb. Lights
