Colorado Carbon Monoxide Detector Law
What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless and colorless gas which could be created whenever a fuel (such as natural gas, Propane, gasoline, coal, wood, kerosene, etc.) is burning. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas and is a poison that binds with hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying molecule in human blood. Because CO’s affinity to bind with hemoglobin is 250 times greater than oxygen, low airborne concentrations and long exposure times can result in substantial carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) concentrations in the blood. COHb is CO bound to hemoglobin. As COHb levels increase, less hemoglobin is available for the transport of oxygen. This lack of oxygen-carrying capability, which is indicated by the increase in COHb, results in the symptoms we associate with CO poisoning.
CO poisoning from the use of fuel burning appliances such as your furnace, boiler, water heater and fireplaces kills hundreds of people each year and sends more than 50,000 to hospital emergency rooms for treatment. Others die from CO produced while burning charcoal inside a home, garage, RV or tent. Still others die from CO produced by cars unintentionally left running in attached garages.
The Ultimate Carbon Monoxide Detector
CO Authority
Why buy CO Authority?
Compare our product to any other detector in the world and you will see why CO Authority is the safest, most reliable detector on the market today. CO Authority is the only detector that will continuously sample the air throughout the entire home, as air circulates through your duct system it is constantly tested for carbon monoxide. There is a second sensor that is sampling the air in the mechanical room so if your flu pipe or water heater was to emit carbon monoxide the detector would sound an alarm and stop the furnace from spreading the deadly poison throughout your home.
All other detectors will say “DO NOT INSTALL IN THE MECHANICAL ROOM”; this is where in most cases carbon monoxide comes from. We calibrate our CO sensors and set them at 50ppm which is the maximum exposure allowed in an 8 hour period. Compare that to other detectors and they will have a range of exposure most commonly 70ppm to 140ppm @ 50% humidity for an exposure time of at least 1 hour. Your furnace or boiler will not continually run for 1 hour, in most cases they will run for 15 minutes every hour in cold weather conditions. By the time the other detectors sound an alarm you may have been exposed to carbon monoxide for several years and keep in mind that humidity plays a big factor as well. The higher the humidity the more responsive CO sensors are, the lower the humidity is the more exposure it will take to cause the sensors to react. CO Authority has humidity sensors that work with the CO sensors to keep them calibrated at 50ppm in any humidity conditions. Compare us to everyone else and you will see there is nothing even close to the safety and value you get with a CO Authority detector in your home in fact if you where to count all the heat registers in your home, you would have to purchase one detector for each register throughout your entire home. Even purchasing cheap co detectors you will still spend $800.00 to $1,200.00 dollars and you still would not get the protection you will get from just one CO Authority detector.
