    Default Carbon monoxide detector

    Is it compulsory to have a carbon monoxide detector?

    Not as far as I know but they are a good thing to have for your own safety too.

    Not sure about a carbon monoxide detector but on my ICP course we were told that you must have proof that you have your boiler serviced regularly, which has reminded me that I must get mine done!

    I have two, one by my boiler, another in the playroom where the kids sleep. Hubby got them from work - extra cautious. The inspector mentioned them, saying they were a good idea. They are not compulsory though.

    It's not compulsory but since my mother in law nearly died this summer from a faulty gas boiler we've had one, it's not worth the risk.
