Carbon Monoxide Detector Testing

Professional CO detector testing and HVAC combustion safety inspections for your family's safety.

About Carbon Monoxide Detector Testing

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas produced by malfunctioning combustion appliances — and it kills over 400 Americans annually. Wichita HVAC Pro provides professional CO safety inspections that go beyond checking your detector batteries. Our technicians perform combustion analysis on all gas appliances, inspect heat exchanger integrity for cracks that can allow flue gases to enter living spaces, test flue draft and venting systems, and verify CO detector placement and function with calibrated test equipment. If we find a problem, we can repair it on the spot in most cases.

What You Get

  • Combustion analysis on all gas appliances — not just visual inspection
  • Heat exchanger integrity testing for crack detection
  • Calibrated CO test equipment verifies detector accuracy
  • Immediate repair capability if safety issues are discovered

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should carbon monoxide detectors be tested?
Test your CO detectors monthly using the test button, and replace them every 5–7 years per manufacturer guidelines (the sensor degrades over time). If your detector chirps in a pattern different from the low-battery chirp, it may be at end of life. Professional combustion analysis during your annual heating maintenance is also an important layer of protection beyond the detector itself.
What causes carbon monoxide in a home?
CO is produced by incomplete combustion of natural gas, propane, oil, or wood. In HVAC systems, the most common causes are cracked heat exchangers (which allow flue gases to mix with conditioned air), blocked flue venting, backdrafting caused by negative pressure, and burner problems. CO can also come from attached garages, gas water heaters, and any fuel-burning appliance.
Where should CO detectors be placed in my home?
CO detectors should be installed on every level and outside each sleeping area. Unlike smoke, CO distributes fairly evenly throughout a space, so placement height isn't critical — chest height is generally recommended for fastest detection. Avoid placing them directly next to fuel-burning appliances. We can assess your current placement and recommend adjustments as part of our safety inspection.
