Interesting article on CO alarms

Jim Davis_3

End of life is usually what is happening by the time most UL alarms start to go off. I think we should put end of life lights on furnaces. Every 10 years the light comes on and says replace me. I don't think Alarm companies will have any problem adding this to there devices. That is why the NSI 3000 CO monitor that has a digital readout at 5ppm and an alarm at 15ppm is easily tested with the smoke of a match. It already has a self-checking sensor circuit if the sensor voltage gets out of range.

NSI 3000

I think I can buy a nuclear reactor online more easily than an NSI 3000. Honest. Try it.

You are correct

We do not sell our CO detectors on line as we must qualify that person that is buying them is a HVAC contractor, Plumber or Certified Student.

Jim-

What state are you in? Cause here in Illinois, "HVAC Contractor" means you could have been selling cars this morning, and paid a business license fee to become a "licensed HVAC" contractor this afternoon. (A MAJOR gripe of mine-every other truck I see these days has in bold letters LICENSED HVAC CAONTRACTOR. Utter B.S. in my state. No testing/proficiency exam required. Pay the dough-it's assumed you know. What are YOUR standards?

I have found a couple of contractors who advertise the NSI 3000 on their websites and who are willing to sell it directly to customers online. Just do a google search and you can find them as well. Send them an email and get a price quote; they will ship it to you.

Conceptually I understand the resistance to putting the NSI 3000 in the hands of uninformed customers who will not know how to react to a low-level reading. However, I personally think that the contractor sales method is short-sighted. My contractor never offered me a low-level alarm. The only reason I even know about the NSI 3000 is through this forum, while the COExperts detector is rather ubiquitous and easy to obtain. It seems to me that the customers who are actively searching for low-level detectors are most likely to know why they want one, and what to do if they happen to go off. Market competition is a wonderful thing. Why not give the option for the NSI 3000? Its clearly top of the line with a slight advantage over CO Experts detector.
