how do the combo CO/smoke detector. I wouldn't mine putting 1 downstairs, and 1 in bedroom
There was a good point by BFL13 on different mounting requirements for LP and CO2 (smoke) detectors - one should be low, another one - high.
From what I see, CO and CO2 are also mounted differently - CO on the mid-height, CO2 - on the ceiling. Makes sense since Co2 (smoke) goes up and hangs near ceiling. I would get separate CO and CO2, there is no savings on combo $35 vs separate 2*$18.
Just for clarification
CO2 is 'carbon dioxide' what we air breathers exhale (and used in fermentation of alcohol) Frozen it is 'dry ice'
CO - Carbon Monoxide is a odorless very poisonous gas that is a product of incomplete combustion
Smoke Detector actually detects the presence of 'smoke' either visually or by ionization sensing.
Combo CO & smoke detectors do work and can be mounted at same height as both rise towards ceiling.
Best location for combo units would be on a wall about foot down from ceiling.
