Carbon monoxide detector soon to be required in rental units. A California law that requires the installation of carbon monoxide detectors is being gradually phased in. Question: I recently bought a duplex. I need to complete repairs to the property in order to list the two units for rental. A friend recently told me that I have to install a carbon monoxide detector as well as a smoke detector if I rent out one of the units. Are these devices necessary?
Be sure to install at least 1 digital readout CO detector in your home. Carbon monoxide detector test kits can be purchased where you buy your CO detector. They include a small container full of gas at a high CO concentration, usually up to 1000 ppm and a plastic housing that you put around the detector for the test.The alarm will certainly sound during this test, so be prepared.tep 3: Test Digital Readout CO Detectors with a Low Level CO Source. To confirm that a digital readout CO detector is detecting carbon monoxide, test it with a substance that will detect low levels of the gas, such as a lit cigarette or a lit incense wand.
