SUMMARY:New Ontario carbon monoxide alarm requirements take effect January 1
DESCRIPTION:Prince Edward County Fire & Rescue is advising residents to prepare for the changes in carbon monoxide alarm requirements coming into effect on January 1\, 2026. \nThe new regulations under the Ontario Fire Code are designed to strengthen public safety and minimize the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. \nAs of Thursday\, January 1\, property owners must ensure:\n \n\nA carbon monoxide alarm is on every storey that does not contain a sleeping area (for example\, a main floor or basement).\nA carbon monoxide alarm is adjacent to every sleeping area in your home\nIn multi-unit residential buildings\, carbon monoxide alarm requirements apply to individual units based on the presence of fuel-burning appliances or attached garages and may also apply to public corridors served by fuel-fired equipment.\n\nHomeowners must make sure their homes are compliant with the new regulations\, while landlords are responsible for rental properties. \nCarbon monoxide is a colourless\, odourless\, tasteless and toxic gas and is often referred to as the silent killer. When inhaled it inhibits the blood’s capacity to transport oxygen throughout the body. It can poison the body quickly in high concentrations\, or slowly over long periods of time. Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause headaches\, dizziness\, nausea\, and in severe cases\, death. \nEven if your home already has a carbon monoxide alarm\, you may need to add more to comply with the new regulations. Failing to have the required carbon monoxide alarms is an offence under the Ontario Fire Code. \nCarbon monoxide can be generated by furnaces\, room heaters\, fireplaces\, hot water heaters\, stoves or grills and any gas-powered vehicle or engine. Automobiles left running in attached garages\, gas barbecues operated inside the house\, or chimneys and vents that are dirty or plugged can create unsafe levels of carbon monoxide. When properly installed\, maintained and vented\, any carbon monoxide produced by these devices will not stay inside the home. \nPrince Edward County Fire & Rescue also encourages residents to test alarms regularly and have all fuel-burning appliances annually inspected by a qualified technician and ensure vents and exhausts are clear of snow\, debris and obstructions. \nIf you have questions about the updated requirements\, please contact Prince Edward County Fire & Rescue at 613.476.2345 or fire@pecounty.on.ca.
