Carbon Monoxide Detector Overview and Installation Guide

Overview

Our Carbon Monoxide Detector sniffs out dangerous leaks that can happen in kitchens, fireplaces, basements, and more. Because it’s an invisible and odorless gas, Carbon Monoxide leaks could otherwise go undetected. We recommend having at least one per floor, in a bedroom or in a central location.

In accordance with National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) guidance, SimpliSafe® recommends replacing your Carbon Monoxide Detector within five (5) years of the manufacture date (found on the label on the back of your device).
