Dear Paul, Do Hafod homes have Carbon Monoxide (CO) detectors, and are they checked?
Yes, all Hafod homes have Carbon Monoxide (CO) detectors. These are special alarms that help keep you safe by warning you if there is dangerous gas in your home.
The detectors are put in rooms where there are gas appliances. They are checked once a year when your gas boiler is serviced. They are also checked every 5 years during an electrical safety check.
CO detectors last for 10 years. If one is getting old, it will be replaced with a new one.
We also recommend that you test your CO detectors and smoke alarms every 6 months. You can do this by pressing the ‘test’ button on the alarm. It will beep for a few seconds to show it’s working. A good way to remember, is to test them when you change your clocks in spring and autumn.
