Smoke & CO detector buyer’s guide

Compare the best-selling, Canadian-certified smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors on Amazon.ca. Filter by type, power source, and price range.

Combination smoke + CO alarms

One unit protects against both fire and carbon monoxide. Great for hallways and bedrooms, but only if it carries a recognized Canadian certification mark.

Smoke alarms

Dedicated smoke detectors can be placed optimally for fire detection. Choose photoelectric sensors for fewer false alarms, or ionization for fast-flaming fires.

Carbon monoxide alarms

Required by code in most Canadian homes with fuel-burning appliances, fireplaces, or attached garages. Plug-in units are easiest; battery models work during outages.
