do carbon monoxide alarms work well?

I was wondering whether carbon monoxide alarms work well? I’m looking for a decent one to install in my lounge, to monitor the gas fire we have.

Would one like this be ok?

    They do work and you should have them in your home. Keep in mind that the sensor life is 3-5 years. Also note that co alarms only go off when co levels become dangerous. Long term exposure to low levels of co can be bad for your health. Having a working co detector doesn’t guarantee safety. Have gas fired appliances and fireplaces checked regularly.

    Yes they work, but obviously more expensive ones are more accurate.
