Because carbon monoxide may dissipate by the time a first responder or investigator arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO. USI Electric/Universal Security Instruments shall not be obligated to pay for or reimburse the user of this alarm for any carbon monoxide investigation or service calls. Fire departments, HVAC contractors and most utility companies will perform CO inspections. -
