Good Advice! Question(maybe I should know this but I don't)Are all LP gas detectors also CO detectors? I assumed my LP gas detector only detected propane.
An LP gas detector should be mounted as low as possible since LP gas is heavier than air. (sinks to lower levels)
A carbon MONOXIDE detector should be mounted at ceiling level since it is lighter than air, therefore rising to the upper levels.
Smoke detector should be mounted at ceiling level since the products of combustion are lighter than air.
