What CO detector to buy?

[Larry D. Kage]

Thanks, I'll check it out.

No reason to be sorry. I haven't made my purchase yet. Not enough information yet to make a buying decision. Either there are very few of us that have one or others aren't willing to contribute....

There is no other reason for this post but for one inspector to another for feedback. That's all what this is about...

Thanks for the effort and the picture!

Greg, I have two co measuring devices, the first is a personel protection piece which is a UEI co071 the second is an annualy calibrated Kane May CO meter used when checking furnaces. I also agee with others that the Bacharra equipment is very good.

I use a Senco battery-powered CO detector that costs about $30. One has to hold down a button and watch the LCD indicators to get an instantaneous reading, but it works just fine. One can get the hang of it by just reading the air after starting their car (but not too much ).

I use a Aim Shield co detector. Like Doug I just wear on my belt while doing the inspection. If it goes off then I know there;s a problem. So far I haven't had it go off.

I have a Bacharach SniFit 50.

I appreciate all of the advice. I ended up purchasing a Fluke CO-220. One of our members sent me a link to E-BAY and I won the bid.

Just looking for the flue adapter now

Get a canary.

I think if you put the canary inside the draft hood, you might end up with lunch before the inspection is over....
