It’s old news for some, but many may not know that a new state-wide law went into effect on 7/1/11 which requires homes that burn fossil fuels, and/or homes with an attached garage, to have a Carbon Monoxide Detector.
It’s doubtful that the “CO Detector Police” will come and check your home, but if you have any propane burning appliances, fireplaces, or floor heaters, having one is a good idea. These can be purchased at our local hardware stores.
Here is a link to some information regarding the law. Other information can be found via a Google search.
