  • Many fuels used in and around a home can generate carbon monoxide during combustion. These include natural gas, propane, oil, wood, and gasoline. Furnaces, fireplaces, water heaters, generators, vehicles, and other fuel-burning equipment can all potentially produce carbon monoxide.

  • Symptoms of being exposed to carbon monoxide can include headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, chest pain, and confusion, and high concentrations can be fatal. Because you can't see or smell carbon monoxide, you may not realize there is a problem based on your senses alone. A working detector provides an audible warning to alert you that there are dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.

  • Carbon monoxide detectors are also required in Minnesota residences. State law requires every single-family dwelling and every unit in a multifamily dwelling to have an approved, operational alarm within 10 feet of each room lawfully used for sleeping.

Carbon Monoxide Detector Installations and Replacements


Installing a carbon monoxide detector doesn't involve just choosing a convenient place on the wall. The number of detectors your home needs, their locations, and the types of devices that meet applicable requirements all need to be considered.

Our electricians are familiar with Minnesota requirements for carbon monoxide alarms. State law defines an approved alarm as one certified by a testing laboratory that is nationally recognized to conform to UL 2034 and recognizes hardwired, direct plug-in, and properly wall-mounted battery-powered devices as installed alarms. Additional code provisions apply in certain circumstances.

We can evaluate your home, determine where detectors should be located, and complete the installation properly. If an existing detector is no longer suitable for use, we can replace it with an appropriate new unit and make sure it is working before we finish.

Additional Electrical Services for Home Safety

Along with carbon monoxide detectors, several types of electrical devices can support safety throughout your home. Mr. Electric of St. Paul offers additional services to help you maintain important protections for your household.

We can install, replace, inspect, and repair smoke and carbon monoxide detection devices. If you're unsure whether your existing detectors are operating correctly or appropriately located, our electricians can assess them and recommend service based on what they find.

Our smoke alarm installations can add new alarms where needed or replace units that have reached the end of their service lives. We also provide smoke detector inspections and repairs to address existing devices that aren't functioning as expected.
