Are any houses or apartments exempt from the carbon monoxide installation requirements?
Almost all houses and apartments must install carbon monoxide detectors. The exceptions are for houses and buildings that do not have a furnace, boiler, and/or water heater that burns fossil fuel (gas, oil or coal), and do not have other potential CO sources such as fireplaces, enclosed parking, or commercial ranges.
