It is now the law to have a carbon monoxide detector in your home if you have an attached garage or any gas-powered appliance.
Appliances include; gas furnace or water heater, space heaters, fireplace, wood-burning stove, etc.
As of April 15, every home in Ontario that meets the criteria is legally required to have a carbon monoxide detector.
The rule also applies to those who rent an apartment in a building with six units or less.
If you're caught without an alarm, it could cost you over $230.
An estimated 10,000 Ontarians suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning each year.
