***Please Note*** Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it. I am changing things up here a bit at The Royal Ranch, and instead of replying to my comments via e-mail, as of February 2, 2011 I will be replying to comments right here in the comment section; so make sure and check the box for follow-up comments or come back by to see my reply! I have found that so many of you Rebels ask such great questions in your comments that I really want to reply to them publicly, so thanks for being such great readers and participants!

Oh My Gosh!!!
ReplyDeleteI recently wrote an article for a magazine where I talked about a CO detector that did not work, yet passed the "button" test. It turns out that CO detectors have a relatively short life (about 5 years). The older units do not warn you that they can no longer detect CO.
So in addition to your strong recommendation, I will add to make sure your CO detector is less than 5 years old (date is on the back) and also make sure that your propane and smoke detectors are in good working order.
If you have compromised breathing issues, I strongly recommend a CO detector with a digital read out, as even small amounts (lower than the trigger level) can really create blood saturation issues.
I really feel a bit stupid here. I should have at least warned my own daughters of what my research revealed. I will send you the article by email.
Love, Dad
Oh, my. I need to check on ours! It's definitely more than 5 years old.
