For a wood stove

A home CO alarm is built to hold off at low levels: see our UL 2034 page for the alarm windows. A silent alarm does not prove the air is free of CO.

If it sounds

If the alarm sounds, get everyone outside to fresh air and call 911 or the fire department from there. Check the replace-by date, and follow the manual and your local code on where to mount it.
