hi, i have a carbon monoxide alarm that i dont think is working.
How can i test it?
The reason i ask is that its been fitted in the house for a while. I have had an extension built (garage) and the flue from the boiler needs to be moved as at the moment it vents in to the garage.
The boiler is switched off at the moment so not a issue but the boiler does get used for 15 mins in the mornings to have a shower and then i switch off again. The garage does not have its windows and doors fitted yet so there is plenty of airflow blowing through the place (open at both ends) plus we have the carbon monoxide detector in the house.
The boiler flue should be sorted in the next few days. but im still worried that even tho the boiler is only used for 15 mins in the mornings that there is a chance that the fumes could build up.
So i put the carbon monoside detector in there to see if it will set it off. It does not, i then held a few meters away from the flue and above the boiler flue and it still wont go off.
I take it that my carbon monoxide detector does not work?
