Testing the alarms in your home
You should have a working smoke alarm on every level of your home, and a carbon monoxide alarm in every room where a fixed fuelled appliance is present (gas or solid fuel boiler, gas or solid fuel fire etc).
You shouldn't ignore a beeping alarm - this can be a sign that the smoke alarm is not working properly. You will need to contact us

Adequate ventilation is essential for gas appliances to burn properly, ensure that the provided ventilation is clear and that any chimneys or flues within your home are clear or unblocked.
