How many carbon monoxide detectors are required and where should they be placed?
One carbon monoxide detector is required on each living level of the home, including “walk up attics” (those with a staircase, not pull down stairs). The carbon monoxide detectors must be within 10 feet of a bedroom, but not located in a bedroom unless it is an additional detector. Carbon monoxide detectors are not to be placed within 10 feet of a carbon monoxide producing appliance, ( furnace, gas stove, etc) and also is not to be placed within 10 feet of a garage, under or attached.
