There is a new Health and Safety code section (17926 (a)) which relates to the installation of Carbon Monoxide detector devices inside the home. This applies to all single family homes from July 1, 2011. Condominiums and Townhomes have until Jan 1, 2013 to comply.
So if you are a considering selling your home anytime soon, you should be aware that by law you need to have the detectors installed. The law says that the devices should be installed "outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedroom(s) in dwelling units and on every level including basements within which fuel-fired appliances are installed and in dwelling units that have attached garages".
