Bill, I have a combination unit upstairs and regular ones in the basement. The combination unit has two different alarm sounds with voice. It repeats either fire or warning carbon monoxide The talking one is a Kidde. I purchased it at Lowes. Also the units in the basement I have so I can easily remove them. There was a warning not to have themaround paint fumes. So when finishing a wood project I slip it into a plastic bag until the fumes are cleared. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Stephan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "List, blindhandyman" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 4:32 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Carbon Monoxide detecters
about four years ago I bought a carbon monoxide detector that runs on house current. This was a bad idea and I have no idea what I was thinking about at the time. Anyway, the service tech that did some work on our furnace yesterday suggested to my wife that we should have these detectors on all three levels of the house. I got no problem with that, but wondered if anyone had opinions as to whether it would be better to buy stand alone carbon monoxide detectors or combination carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. Also, my wife said the tech said that these carbon monoxide detectors are only good for about three years. Anybody know if that's true? thanks. all: Bill Stephan, Kansas City MO Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (816)803-2469 ------------------------------------ Send any questions regarding list management to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To listen to the show archives go to link http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=33&MMN_position=47:29 Or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/JAWS/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ If you would like to join the JAWS Users List, then visit the following address for more information: http://www.jaws-users.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Groups Links __________ NOD32 3658 (20081202) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
