Carbon Monoxide

The carbon monoxide regulation (O. Reg. 194/14) has now become law in Ontario and comes into force as of October 15, 2014. O. Reg. 194/14 amends the Fire Code and introduces mandatory installation, replacement, testing and maintenance requirements for CO alarms in residential dwellings. It is the owner’s/landlord’s responsibility under the Ontario Fire Code to ensure both installation and maintenance of carbon monoxide alarms.

As of January 1st, 2026 updates have been made to the Ontario Fire Code. For more information visit https://www.ontario.ca/page/carbon-monoxide-safety
