Should every home have a carbon monoxide alarm or is it just important when a gas boiler is an older model? Depending on the answer to this question could anyone recommend somewhere to buy these, I'd need about 50 of them. Thanks.
 
Aldi (or Lidl?) was selling these last week. 2 for a fiver. You stick them to a wall etc and any CO will make a patch go black. They last 3 months if I recall.
 
Bought mine in Woodies. Cost over €40. Light flashes green when O.K. We have it in the kitchen.

I would not use those cards, yes they do work. But look at it this way......

You smoke/fire alarm that you have installed in your house, makes an audible warning should you be in danger, yet, you can smell, taste, and see smoke!

Carbon monoxide, is an ODORLESS, INVISIBLE, TASTELESS GAS,
which is lethal in very small quantities

Laying in bed asleep the card turning black is not going to help you!!

Anyone fitting a CO alarm should make sure it is to standard (EN50291)

IMHO these should be mandatory for all houses (in Canada the CO & smoke alarm are intergrated)

Yep

The weakness in the strip "alarm" jumped out at me too.
