Nitpicks aside, I agree that it's a good idea for a gas boiler. You should also have one in each room with a non-electric fireplace (i.e. gas or wood burner).Comment

I think that would just be CO (carbon monoxide) rather than CO2 (carbon dioxide). You only need a CO2 detector if you're keeping track of ventilation (e.g. in a classroom).

For those with nests, how are you getting around the fact you can't have one in the kitchen, but the regulations (for new builds) are that a kitchen needs a heat detector (not smoke) which still needs to be linked up to the other alarms in the house?Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

Personally, if I felt I needed a heat detector I'd just get a standalone one and accept it as being outside the systemComment

With all these smoke detectors we're gonna need some lead underpants due to all the radiation from the Americium 241.
Meanwhile there's this:

Oddly enough, I remember that a shedload of these were crushed when Wolsey Comcare closed.
The wail from the crusher was quite disturbing.

Why not bypass smoke alarms altogether and just put a full sprinker system in with those little red cartidges that break on heat. That way you don't need to detect anything as the system will deal with the eventuality.
