New Law that mandates Carbon Monoxide Detectors in all residences went into effect July 1!

Did you know that the new law that requires all residences to install a carbon monoxide detector went into effect July 1, 2011? Well, it did. It's called the SB 183 bill.

If you own a home that has an attached garage or any gas appliances, then you are required to install a carbon monoxide detector. These detectors are pretty cheap and can be found at Home Depot, Target, or any other home store. I found some that start at about $18 at Home Depot.

If you plan to sell your home, you are required to disclose if you home has a carbon monoxide detector installed. Best bet is to have one installed now so you don't have to worry about it later. Plus, it's the safe thing to do!

Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any real estate questions or if you know of someone who is thinking of buyer or selling a home. I would be happy to help them. Crista :)
