Are you following the state law on CO2 and Smoke Detectors??? In 2007 the state of Minnesota required all new construction homes to have CO2 alarms within 10 feet of any sleeping room. Depending on how far your bedrooms are apart you could potentially have one CO2 detector for two bedrooms. In my case I actually have three bedrooms that can be serviced by one CO2 detector because all three rooms down the hallway are within the 10 feet of the alarm. Many homes built just prior to 2007 may not have these alarms and should install them as soon as possible.
In 2008 the Minnesota CO2 law required all existing homes to have CO2 detectors within 10 feet of any sleeping room. So now no matter how old your home is the state law requires you to have CO2 alarms. Furthermore, in 2009 the state required all multi-family properties(apartments) to have CO2 alarms installed in them. For those of you who have investment properties this is important to make sure you are following the state laws and providing this important safety feature.
All residential property must have smoke detectors in the following areas:
1) In every sleeping room.
2) Outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms.
3) On each additional story of the dwelling, including basements but not including crawl spaces and uninhabitable attics. In dwellings or dwelling units with split levels, a smoke alarm installed on the upper level shall suffice for the adjacent lower level provided that the lower level is less than one full story below the upper level.
