Carbon monoxide detector fitting in Teignmouth

### The Silent Killer You Can't Detect

Carbon monoxide has no smell, no taste, no colour. You literally cannot detect it yourself. By the time you feel symptoms, you're already being poisoned.

**A working CO detector is essential** if you have any gas appliances, oil boiler, wood burner, or open fire. It's not optional safety gear - it's basic common sense.

> 💡 **Pro tip:** Position matters. A CO detector on the floor is useless. High up on the wall (but not ceiling) in the same room as the appliance - that's where it works.
