Will Your Detector Protect You From Carbon Monoxide? 

Don't want to lose sponsorship. Money>lives

As they stated, it's an unscientific test. Some were new and some were old.

They all work but they highlight that it’s important to change the batteries regularly and replace the devices every 3-5 years. Additionally I suggest having at least 2 in the house in case one fails. And at least one in the master bedroom or near it because carbon monoxide makes you fall asleep and you won’t wake up unless the beeping is loud enough.

That's why you should replace unmarked smoke alarms and monoxide detectors. Better safe than sorry. Inspectors usually just check the alarm's ability to sound and if it's up to code.

Do you know how old your 3 detectors are Destany?

Patrick Hageman: 2 are brand new, the other one I'm not sure.

Destany ok. if they are new its perfect. Check if you can find a date on the devices when they need to be replaced. Maybe the operating manual tells you how long they will last. Write the date on the devices. And the one that you are not sure of, throw it away

Patrick Hageman: ok thank you.

@@EE-zi4yr replace them with new ones and your as good as protected

smoldering fire? that would count as smoke, not carbon monoxide.

get a CO detector and put a piece of rope on fire and then close the lid and make it as airtight as possible, when there is no more oxygen to burn it will start making CO instead of CO2

bruh

Geez i can b dead before i get answer. Got new heater. Older carbon d started buzzing low buzzing. The 2 the heater guy put up dont show anything. Kidde. Older one has 2013 date. New says 0. Im not running out to get spray n a baf wth??? It takes 5 mins to die n i understand 0 of these vids.ridiculous

I didn’t think CO2 was dangerous, isn’t CO2 carbon dioxide? It’s CO that’s dangerous.

CO, not Co2 👍🏻

That makes sense if they actually work.

I know right?

Great question.They should tell us.

​@@jameskilrain38 Kidde is the best

thats what happens lol, you know how they work right?

Keep in mind, both of them are brand new. One of them has a manufacturer date of jan 2020 and the other sep 2020

Sorry can't have that.

Just buy a new one, the ones that took forever or the ones that never went off are the ones that were older than some teenagers

@@sl4983 bruh

First alert carbon monoxide alarm,, i recommend kidde and first alert products.

@@alexandersalarms5380 Those are some of the ones that didn't work as expected.

If you have a furnace. In Florida, we have a heater, but no furnace.

That won't help you once the air is already saturated with carbon monoxide unless you have the window open or something circulating the air. Even then, I'm doubtful. Just because the furnace shuts off, doesn't mean you're safe. Just means it doesn't get any worse. And in any case, you still don't know how long it'll take the NEST to notice, just like these detectors.

BUT TECHNOLOGY FAILS

Wow i didnt realize this was on my local cbs news. Anyways, my furnace is tilted due to the floor support decaying. My house is over 100 years old. If my floor breaks, it damages the furnace and blows up.

@@saigeraigel9540 just lisen to what the fire fighters say and dont worry

It looks like the first two were Kidde brand, based on the images in the clip. They show the first one that went off when they are describing which ones they used (you can see the top, left corner of the table in the shot, so the Kidde was the first to go off. The second was also a Kidde. That said, it's true that car exhaust CAN ruin the sensor. There's no way to know that the others that didn't go off at all wouldn't have gone off first normally, had they been tested scientifically (and without car exhaust); they could have gotten damaged by the car exhaust before they had a chance to go off, so I wouldn't rely on this and just make sure you read the detector inserts for each product before you buy it. They have to disclose this information in the US because of liability issues. Normally I'd also say the ones that went off were closer to the source, but in this case, it's true that the two that went off first were nearly on opposite sides of the table.

The ones that sucked were ancient, btw.

Well the lady's First Alert didn't work.

they literally say the brands on them

Human fart is natural carbon monoxide. But if the human body can make it have an odor, why can't we duplicate it to detect it in our homes?

Because it was unscientific and they didn’t want to get sued by the manufacturers. They stated that some of the devices that didn’t go off or went off late were upwards of 14 years old or had old batteries. So realistically as long as you replace the batteries and devices like suggested by the manufacturer you should be fine.

MSA detector

Carbon monoxide detector

Those fumes are mostly carbon *dioxide*

Depends on the circumstances. The cats on most cars are supposed to replace nearly all the CO with CO2. CO comes when the engine is running rich, but incomplete combustion happens pretty much constantly. As you can see, the firefighters' advanced detector confirmed the presence of CO. The sensors may have been damaged, but they're more or less expendable to begin with.

New cars almost always have less than 100ppm of co. Lawnmowers and yard tools have VERY HIGH CO emissions and can easily cause poisoning.

Yes indeed, you'd think firemen would understand how to properly run a test on these detectors.

Why are they even selling it,then?

@@jameskilrain38 Why are you asking me why companies sell them lol obviously people need them to detect carbon monoxide duh. The problem is they are obviously not all accurate and that is a problem because you could buy something in order to save your life and it not even work to the standard it's suppose to. The fact that I even have to explain that to you is pretty annoying go back to school man

@@kaylagarcia8118 Yes,I know people need them.Have one.However,they should make sure it works.

No thanks. Don't use any wifi at all.

What good would that do regarding carbon monoxide?

ehehe there are dumb people all over the place.

yea but you need the nest protect. that way when the protect detects co, it communicates with the learning thermostat to turn off the furnace

Carbon monoxide can come from water heaters, stove tops, flue piping issues, attached garage, generators and other outdoor sources. Please install a low level CO detectors. I wear a personal CO detector and you would be surprised where and when your exposed to CO.

Are they farting on it?

Why do the firemen have helmets and fireproof jackets on?

CO ITS CO

@@sleepwalker29 Alright, they have bunker gear on cause. NFPA Standard. They got SCBA on cause Carbon Monoxide is toxic for the human body, one breathes, you have it in your blood system. Think of it as venom but in the lungs. So they have SCBA on cause to not breathe CO. As a JR. FR, (Junior FIrefighter), that's what I was told.

CO is carbon monoxide. CO2 is carbon dioxide. CO is more deadly and it’s odorless so it kills more people.

No wifi for me, thanks.

I'm pretty sure it's more expensive to die.

@@saigeraigel9540 What? Lol..
