Are you aware, that as from 1st October 2010,
any new stove installations, MUST have a CO detector fitted in the room. (Building Regulations, Document J 2010 edition)
Carbon Monoxide is known as the silent killer, as that is exactly what it is.
It has no taste or smell, and is undetectable.
It is created by unburnt fumes entering your room due to poor
Ventilation and/or poor maintenance of your stove,flue or chimney and can kill.
BE SAFE!
By fitting a Carbon Monoxide (also known as CO) detector, if the CO rises to an unacceptable level, you
will be alerted by a piercing alarm, allowing you to take action in time.
