A member on our fb group has just shared this information.
Just had my annual gas service and he checked my carbon monoxide detector. He told me it was out of date and would no longer be working effectively. On the back in the small print it does say quite clearly to be replaced after 5yrs
I had been replacing the battery religiously thinking it was working as it beeped appropriately.I have been including it on my monthly alarm checks too and ticking off.
Of course this shows only that the battery is working not that the sensor itself is working..............new detector now ordered. (the old one was 2yrs out of its guaranteed performance
Get checking your dates everyone :thumbsup:
