Where should carbon monoxide detectors be placed in homes with no basement?
Carbon monoxide detectors are not required to be placed in a basement. The detectors are required in the surrounding areas of any room where someone sleeps at night. If all rooms are in the same area of the house, only one detector is required. Homes with any fuel-burning appliance or attached garage are required to have carbon monoxide detectors. However, some states and cities require that all homes have these detectors.
