Carbon monoxide, a byproduct of gas combustion, is a poison to your home's air if it enters the system. To decrease the risk of poisoning by carbon monoxide it is recommended to install an alarm for carbon monoxide near any source of fuel that creates an ignition source (such as your fireplace in the wall). You can purchase these detectors from the majority of hardware stores.
