Carbon monoxide detector testing and maintenance

CO detectors must be provided in all habitable rooms containing a solid fuel appliance (e.g. coal/wood fires). Mains-powered detectors are advised.

CO detectors are strongly recommended in all habitable rooms containing a gas appliance (e.g. boiler/gas heater).

All detectors should be tested each time you visit the property (tenants are advised to test weekly) and serviced in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
