Do I Need a Carbon Monoxide Detector in an All-Electric House?
Carbon monoxide is a byproduct of combustion (burning fuel). The usual culprits behind carbon monoxide leaks are things like gas furnaces or gas stoves. If you have neither of these appliances, a CO detector isn't really necessary. However, even if you have an all-electric home, if you have an attached garage and drive a gas-powered vehicle, a carbon monoxide detector is still essential. A vehicle running in a garage can cause carbon monoxide to seep into your home - although unlikely, it is still a possibility that should be accounted for.
