2026.06.05 - Back on New's Day I offered to help people install their newly required Carbon Monoxide monitor / alarms. That offer is now over. At our home, we can now dispense with our CO monitors, as we no longer require them under the 2026 regulations. We did that by removing our last combustion appliance in our house (hot water heater) and shutting off the gas service into the building. Just to refresh, for those of you living in Ontario, new regulations for carbon monoxide alarms in housing came into effect this past January. 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.
If you're interested in our journey from gas to electric + solar water heating, you can see a write-up at the Canada Climate Change blog.

For me, the best thing about being an independent consultant is that I no longer have to work for bosses that require me to solve the wrong 'problems'.
Is your business putting time, money and effort into solving the wrong 'problems'? How do you know?
