DIY :: Carbon Monoxide & Heat Alarm

[Bunka]

Hi Guys,

My google fu is failing me here, either that or the product doesn't actually exist. Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a combined carbon monoxide and heat alarm? I need to purchase a heat alarm for our new kitchen/lounge and as we'll also be having a gas fire close by, it'd be good if both types of alarm could be combined in one unit?

Anyone come across this before?

The only combined I've seen is smoke & CO:

No it wouldn't because they need to go in different locations

CO2 at head height
Heat alarm not above a cooker but within a few meters

Besides you don't want both units to fail at the same time

Please think about getting a gas detector too, it's very easy to leave the gas on by mistake.

Fair point, thanks for pointing that out!

Looks like I'll get two separate units then, appreciate both your help.
