It's the Law!
Carbon monoxide alarms must be installed in most new commercial - residential construction in Wisconsin as of October 1, 2008, and in most existing commercial – residential buildings by 2010.
The Department of Commerce in September 2009 issued an Emergency Rule concerning the installation of carbon monoxide alarms "in buildings accommodating certain types of residential occupancies and within which fuel burning appliances are located. Residential occupancies include tourist rooming houses, bed and breakfast establishments, and any pubic building that is used for sleeping or lodging, such as, hotels, motels, condominiums, apartment buildings, dormitories, fraternities, sororities, convents, seminaries, community based residential facilities, home shelters, but not hospitals and nursing homes."
This rule called for the installation of carbon monoxide alarms (hard wired and interconnected) in new buildings as of October 1, 2008. The owners of existing buildings will have until April 1, 2010 to install the carbon monoxide alarms (plug in alarms in exiting buildings are permitted under the emergency rule). This rule provides for the omission of carbon monoxide alarms in certain instances which are further clarified by the administrative rule.
From the rules' summary are more details:
-For new tourist rooming houses and apartments (October 1, 2008) the rule requires:
-The installation of carbon monoxide alarms where any type of fuel burning appliances are installed.
-The carbon monoxide alarms to be continuously powered by the building's electrical service with battery backups.
