CO alarms only detect CO gas. They do not detect smoke, fire, or other types of gas, therefore, will not satisfy legal requirements regarding the installation of smoke alarms in the home.
Did you know?
In 50% of our Gas Service and Safety Checks, we find numerous life-threatening hazards. All unseen and potentially lethal to you and your family.
Our new stay-at-home habit is placing a great strain on all types of household supply lines and appliances, including heating and cooking systems.
One form of energy that has potentially life-threatening results if servicing is neglected or ignored is gas.
Safety authorities say all gas appliances, including heating and cooking systems, along with hot water, should be professionally tested a minimum of every two years.
If they aren’t serviced regularly, there is an increased risk of deadly carbon monoxide poisoning or a potential explosion from a gas leak.
Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas you can’t see or smell. Unless a working Carbon Monoxide alarm is installed, the only “last-chance” safety warning you will get is drowsiness or mild nausea after a faulty system has been running for a while.
Sharpe Services is running a Gas and Carbon Monoxide Safety Drive – where you can Get a Home Gas Safety Check, a Gas Heater Service (Space, Wall or Ducted) and the Installation of a Carbon Monoxide Alarm all for $290.

The next time you need a “local plumber near me”, call on Sharpe Plumbing for the best plumbers in Adelaide. We don’t have any subcontractors, only in-house fully licensed local plumbers.
Carbon monoxide gas is a simple molecule: one part carbon and one part oxygen. Carbon monoxide comes when carbon fuel—like wood, gasoline, coal, propane, natural gas, and heating oil—fails to burn completely.
These energy sources aren’t dangerous when you burn them in an open area with plenty of ventilation. But carbon monoxide is hazardous in confined spaces—like basements, kitchens, garages, or campers.
Carbon monoxide is hard to detect without a sensor, which is one of the reasons it’s so dangerous.
Carbon monoxide is deadly because it binds with your red blood cells and starves your body of oxygen after passing into your lungs. These are the early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning:
• Headache
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Dizziness
• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue
Perhaps most troubling is the similarity to cold or flu-like symptoms that are easy to ignore—shortness of breath, nausea, and mild headaches. Disorientation and unconsciousness can occur when levels of carbon monoxide reach 150 parts per million (ppm).
Carbon monoxide detectors are the fastest way to prevent CO poisoning. You can install a carbon monoxide detector (or multiple detectors) in your home. They work much like your fire or smoke alarm by sounding a siren when they detect carbon monoxide.
You can find simple models like the Quell Carbon Monoxide Alarm, or smart detectors like the Google Nest Protect that connect to your smartphone or home security system.
Overall, carbon monoxide detectors sense CO fast and alert you as soon as they do. But there’s a surprising amount of variety in today’s carbon monoxide sensors.
Some simple models plug into outlets or use a battery and alert you with a loud siren, like the one on your smoke detector. These models are cheap and suitable for multi-room buildings that need several units spread throughout.
Many models include sensors for both smoke and carbon monoxide. These are an easy option that you can swap out your existing smoke detectors for. They also reduce the number of sensors on your walls or ceilings.
To find the best carbon monoxide detectors, we compared smart features, installation ease, and detection accuracy. We also looked at user reviews to get a better idea of how these devices work first hand.
The Quell Carbon Monoxide Alarm provides you and your family with a loud warning signal in response to elevated levels of carbon monoxide in your home. The digital display feature allows for easy viewing of carbon monoxide levels and the 10 year limited warranty lasts the life of the alarm.
It combines smoke and carbon monoxide detection and works with an app. When you download it, you can get alerts to your phone and even silence alarms if necessary. With state-of-the-art sensors for both fire and carbon monoxide, this alarm is one of the best for homeowners or renters.
Carbon monoxide poisoning is a serious risk, but fortunately, it’s very preventable. Here are five tips for avoiding exposure, including installing those sensors throughout your home.
Home Gas Cooking Appliances and Heating Equipment needs to be in first-class working order – so we recommend a Gas Safety Check and/or Heating Equipment Safety Check Annually.
