New from Aico is a comprehensive Guide to Carbon Monoxide, covering all you need to know about Carbon Monoxide (CO) in the home - including where CO comes from, what can go wrong with appliances, why CO alarms should be fitted, what to look for in a CO alarm, where alarms should be sited and much more.
Produced as the definitive guide for landlords and specifiers in both the social and private housing sectors on this potentially deadly poisonous gas, Aico's Guide to Carbon Monoxide is an essential read. Its extensive use of graphics and clear, uncluttered layout ensure the valuable information contained within is easy to digest.
For those uncertain of the need for CO alarms in domestic properties, the Guide contains an examination of the statistics on deaths and injuries caused by CO poisoning, along with an explanation of the varied effects of CO poisoning - which at high levels can cause death within minutes. As CO is produced from any fossil fuel burning appliance, the Guide covers the key boilers and appliances that are potential sources and explains what can go wrong to lead to CO escaping into a property.
Preventative measures, including annual servicing by Gas Safe Registered installers, are covered in the Guide, alongside CO detection in the home through the use of CO alarms. The book provides guidance on what to look for in a CO alarm to ensure you get a quality alarm, types of alarms available and, as you would expect, details Aico's range of CO alarms. These include mains powered models for the best protection and Aico's latest range of quality, cost- effective Lithium battery powered alarms.
Unlike many other alarms on the market, Aico alarms have the ability to be connected to other devices, adding real value. The Guide details these, including other Aico CO and smoke alarms, control devices, sprinkler systems and warden call systems. Interconnection can be achieved through traditional hard wiring or by using Aico's RadioLINK wire-free system.
For those who still remain to be convinced of the need for CO alarms, Aico's Guide to Carbon Monoxide also addresses common heard arguments against the use of CO alarms, allowing landlords to make an informed decision.
Copies of the Guide to Carbon Monoxide are available from Aico by registering online at www.aico.co.uk.
Aico is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ei Electronics. All alarms are designed and built in Europe specifically to meet the UK standards and regulations.
