Manitoba has just announced it is making it mandatory for all homes to be retrofitted with a CO sensor. I applaud this decision and hope that it will ripple to other provinces including BC as well.
As a home inspector, I ALWAYS recommend a CO sensor in any home with gas appliances or an attached garage. I am dissapointed that some mayors and building officials in Manitoba only look at the logistics and costs of the inspections or false alarms.
Is saving a life not worth all the false alarms that may occure over a year?
This article explains CO gas and where the sensors should be located.
