WEEKLY TIP: Natural Gas Water Heaters and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Any appliance that generates carbon monoxide, including gas tankless water heaters, should be monitored by a carbon monoxide detector. These detectors set off an alarm if enough carbon monoxide is detected, and should be placed in an optimal location to catch the fumes.
Many experts recommend putting the detector five feet above the floor because carbon monoxide is lighter than air and will rise. Every floor of the home will need its own detector, which are usually electric-powered, so you may need to install a new outlet in some areas of your home. While gas tankless water heaters require gas vents, a carbon monoxide detector is crucial should your vent become compromised or blocked in some way. The early warning you get could save your life.
