Protect Your Family: Low-Level CO Detector FAQs
At CO Experts, we understand that keeping your family safe is your top priority. Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odorless gas that poses serious health risks, especially to young children and the elderly. Our mission is to educate and empower families like yours by offering reliable, accurate low-level CO detectors that protect against even the smallest traces of carbon monoxide.
Watch the video below to see how our low-level detectors work and why they’re essential for early CO detection in your home.
Here are the answers to some of the most common questions about our low-level CO detectors and how they help keep your family safe.
1. What is Carbon Monoxide, and Why is it Dangerous?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning fuel in cars, stoves, fireplaces, furnaces, and more. In high levels, it’s deadly. Even in low levels, carbon monoxide can cause symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and fatigue, which are particularly harmful to young children and elderly family members. Unlike standard alarms that only alert you when CO levels are high, CO Experts' low-level CO detectors begin alerting at low thresholds, giving you time to react early.

2. Why Should I Choose a Low-Level CO Detector Over a Standard CO Alarm?
Most standard CO alarms only sound when CO levels reach a high concentration (around 70 ppm or higher) and after prolonged exposure. Low-level CO detectors, like those from CO Experts, sense CO at much lower levels (as low as 10 ppm), warning you of even minimal amounts that can accumulate in the bloodstream over time. This early detection is essential for households with infants, young children, elderly individuals, and those with respiratory issues who are more vulnerable to the effects of CO.

CO Experts’ low-level CO detectors alert you to dangerous levels early, protecting your family from these harmful effects before they worsen.
