Re: ADT CO2 sensors reliable? Where to place?

Placement of CO detectors really depend on what you are mainly concerned
with monitoring. If you are more worried about CO fumes from the fact that
you start your car in the attached garage to let it warm up, then I'd place
it near there but not directly in the garage. If your mostly worried about a
crack in the heat exchanger of your furnace then place it near the closest
vent to the furnace. If you have a propane fireplace and that is your
biggiest concern then place it near there but not directly above the unit.
The thing you have to remember is that a CO dectector is exactly that.
Carbon Monoxide is created from a fuel that is partially burnt. A fuel that
burns extremely efficient puts off very little CO. Most furnaces now-a-days
burn at like 92 and 93 percent efficient, but it is the mishap of something
going wrong and throwing off the efficiency ie: a couple of your spark plugs
on your car starting to foul-out which makes it run poorly. It runs poorly
brcause it is not burning the fuel correctly. Hope this helps!
