Hi Colm, where & how many of these detectors should be installed in a standard 4 bedroomed house with gas fired central heating & an open fire place? I looked up the carbonmonoxide.ie website but they give no information in relation to this question. Appreciate the assistance. Thanks. Aileen
Hi Aileen,
Great question that! The best answer I could give you is at least one dector should be installed and in the room that you have the gas central heating system. After that prioritise installing dectors close to the bedrooms. In summary at least one but the more you install the more secure your home will be against this threat.

We have a slot in fuel burner in one former open fireplace in the dining area and an open fire in the sitting room. The rooms are separated by the foyer. We burn a combination of timber, turf and briquettes (e.g. CosyGlo) in each. Do we need one in each room?
We have a slot in, glass fronted burner in one former open fireplace, and another open fireplace in another room. They are separated by the foyer and stairway. We burn a combination of timber, turf and briquettes (e.g. Cozy Glo). Do we need a detector in each room? Should the device be placed in the foyer? Or in the room with the fire source? Thanks.
Hi Mary,
If getting one best to install in the foyer or in the room where the fire is used most. Probably best best to install in each room though.
