It is also important to evaluate the transmission system that the simple-cycle plant is currently supplying power to. If the transmission system requires substantial upgrades to handle the additional distribution of power, the conversion from simple cycle to combined cycle could prove too expensive.
Carbon monoxide detectors placement: Do's. In order to maximize the protection of your home from excess levels of carbon monoxide, place your detectors in all of the following places: 1  On every level of your home. 2  Five feet from the ground. 3  Near every sleeping area. 4  Near attached garages. 5  Where the manufacturer recommends.
Therefore, you should install all CO detectors up high, centrally located outside all your sleeping areas, on every floor of your home, in or near any attached garage and any other location per manufacturerâs instruction. You should never install a CO detector near fuel burning appliances and make sure they are replaced every five years.
