The Ei204 features a low and high Carbon Monoxide level indicator and horn to warn users of any Carbon Monoxide in the atmosphere. The Ei204 alarm from Ei Electronics carries third party approvals (EN52091), is kitemarked to British fire safety standards and is available online or at Homebase stores for £24.95

    Its one of my fears as well so thanks for the comp

    Thing to look out for

    Check the colour of gas flames: if it’s blue it’s normal, if it’s orange or yellow this could be an indication of a problem with the appliance in question.

    Can protect your home by buying a carbon monoxide alarm!

    Look for discolouration and staining around pilot lights and fire places as this is often a sign of the incomplete burning of fuel.

    Look for discolouration and staining around pilot lights and fire places. Important as it shows that fuel is not burning correctly.

    We have real fires, didn't realise there was a danger from there, you just assume its gas that is the danger. I'm going to book a chimney sweep asap! Thanks for the info and the giveaway.

    Make sure your boiler is serviced regularly.
    Carbon monoxide alarms are essential for student digs.

    We would love these as OH was talking about these the other day as he is wondering if that is what could be causing his chest/breathing problems
