Pretty basic CO alarm, I have them in all my rentals. Easy to use. Make sure to test regularly and change the batteries.

Carbon Monoxide Alarm - essential in any home!
We had two CO alarms fail at the same time. We thought it must be batteries - but no... the old alarms had both passed their operational life - 10 years... New alarms twin pack from Argos at Sainsburys - fabulous value, and a WHICH? Best Buy recommended for accuracy, reliability, alarm volume, and price. 5 Stars!

Easy to fit and well reviewed. A bit cheaper than the 10 year ones but will need to keep an eye on the batteries. Peace of mind.

Hello Robert,
The Kidde Single Carbon Monoxide Alarm 700/1617 -The supplier advise -Carbon monoxide (CO) and combination alarms should be mounted in or near bedrooms and living areas, no closer than 20cm from the ceiling. If mounting on a ceiling, please make sure it is at least 20cm away from the wall. Because carbon monoxide is almost the same density as air, it will disperse evenly throughout the air in a room.
We recommend you install a carbon monoxide or combination alarm on each level of a multi-level home. If your home has only one CO or combination alarm, it should be installed in the main bedroom or in the hallway outside of the sleeping areas. Place the alarm at least 1.5m away from fuel-burning appliances. Make sure nothing is covering or obstructing the unit. Do not place the unit in dead air spaces or next to a window or door. CAUTION: Carbon Monoxide alarms will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide at the sensor. Carbon monoxide may be present in other areas of your home
