2026.01.01 - Happy 2026! And for those of you living in Ontario, new regulations for carbon monoxide alarms in housing. Yes, as you probably expected, they're probably going to cost you more money. In short, if you have an appliance in your house or on your property that burns stuff for heating, you're probably affected. That includes water heaters, as well as furnaces, fireplaces, ovens, stovetops, etc. For more detail, see the Ontario Fire Code, Section 2.16 Installation of Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Short form, unless you have an all-electric house, it applies to you. If you thought you were OK because you already have a functioning carbon monoxide alarm in your house, the bad news is you might need additional units. Even if the only such appliance is a gas water heater with atmospheric venting (sigh). If the alarm ever goes off (other than when testing), get people and air-breathing pets out of the house, open a couple of windows, and call emergency services (9-1-1). Don't take your time with that; you can't see, smell or feel carbon monoxide. That's why it's called the silent killer.
Some thoughts and recommendations on installation and use of your carbon monoxide (CO) alarms.
If you rent your accommodation, this is the landlord's responsibility. If you own your housing, even a condo, you are responsible for compliance.
The non-compliance fine is approximately $300. For the first few months of 2026, I'll install CO alarms for people in western Ottawa who need them and assistance with the work. (Not free. You will pay cost of equipment and plus labour, but almost certainly less than $300. But really, try it yourself or ask a family member, friend or neighbour to do this for you.) If you're stuck, for more information, send an email.
