Canadian winters mean sealed homes and furnaces running hard. Working smoke and CO alarms are non-negotiable — here’s a simple Amazon.ca checklist.
Combination smoke + CO alarms
Dual sensors cut down on device clutter. Prefer units with 10-year sealed batteries if you hate annual swaps.
Plug-in CO detectors with display
Useful near furnaces and gas fireplaces; digital readout shows CO levels.
ABC fire extinguishers
Keep one near the kitchen and another by the garage or workshop. Check the gauge yearly.
Fire blankets & escape ladders
Blankets for stovetop flare-ups; ladders if you have upper-floor bedrooms.
Build your safety kit
Test alarms monthly and replace units past their expiry date printed on the back.

Where should I put CO detectors in Canada?
On every level, outside sleeping areas, and near fuel-burning appliances. Follow the manufacturer height guidance — CO mixes with air differently than smoke.
How often should I replace smoke alarms?
Most units expire after 7–10 years. If yours is older or chirps after new batteries, replace the whole alarm.
