If a carbon monoxide alarm doesn’t sound does it still save a life?
Why would you need to replace an old carbon monoxide alarm if it never made a sound before? Perhaps you think this is an over-cautious measure.

You are not stronger than this poison. Get protected, now. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
