Carbon monoxide is silent. Your alarm isn’t.
Know the warning signal:
4 beeps. Pause. 4 beeps. Pause.
A sounding CO alarm means CO may be present. Know the sound. Know what to do. Test it monthly.
Let safety be heard.

Snow. Nests. Debris.
When chimneys or vents are blocked, carbon monoxide can build up in your home, even when your appliances are working.
You can’t see or smell CO, but a working alarm can warn you.
