How long does it take to show signs of carbon monoxide poisoning? How long it takes for carbon monoxide to affect your health depends on many factors. Higher concentrations of the gas can kill you in less than five minutes, while lower concentrations can take several hours.

The security packages from ADT provide guidance for what to do if your carbon monoxide alarm goes off. With an ADT installation, you get instant alerts to your smart device if your carbon monoxide detector is beeping.

Lifespan is typically from 5 to 10 years. Test these alarms annually, but preferably monthly. Are CO detectors required in my home? CO detectors have different regulations regarding use depending on where you live. Some states require that you have one in every enclosed room.

When dangerous levels of carbon monoxide gas are detected inside your house, this device helps protect you and your family by sounding a loud alarm and by connecting to your ADT Command Security System, which provides communication to ADT’s monitoring center for emergency response notification.
