    What are you trying to achieve with regards to the CO detector and this thread?

    Have you actually asked your LL if they're willing to replace the CO detector? If you asked them nicely, they might buy you a new one as goodwill. It's not particularly a particularly expensive thing and if you would appreciate it...

    I work for a building company and my engineers write things like that if there's a detector present and not working, just as if the boiler system is old they'll write something like 'boiler old and inefficient, recommend replacing' in the remedial area - it doesn't mean it needs to be replaced there and then as the system is safe, they just recommend changing it. They've also written something like 'expansion vessel needed recharging, may need replacement in near future' - again not necessary but recommended.

    Your engineer recommends replacing the CO2 detector in this case, as they're something useful to have and can protect you from CO2 from any source - it doesn't have to come from your boiler. There's been cases where a neighbours boiler has leaked and killed the neighbouring family.

    Fluff, whilst I do agree with your answers they would be more credible if you knew the difference between CO2 and CO.

    Neither are great to breathe in quantity or easy to detect

    Are you for real. Respected? Reeeeeeally?

    Yes I am "for real" and yes I have the utmost respect for G_M. I am less convinced by your responses to me and others. As I have nothing further to contribute here, I shall bow out of this thread.

    Thanks, I was on a mobile and it was changing it automatically to CO2 so my mistake for not reading back my answers! What a plonker.
