South Jordan requires carbon monoxide alarms outside each sleeping area in homes with fuel-burning appliances or attached garages, per Utah-adopted building codes.
Utah's building code (IRC Section R315) and South Jordan enforcement require carbon monoxide alarms in dwelling units that contain fuel-fired appliances (gas furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, ranges) or have an attached garage. Alarms must be installed outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on every level containing sleeping areas. In new construction and additions, CO alarms must be hardwired with battery backup where commercial power is available, and interconnected where smoke alarms are also interconnected. Combination smoke/CO units meeting UL 217 and UL 2034 are acceptable. CO alarms have a shorter lifespan than smoke alarms — typically 5 to 7 years — and should be replaced per the manufacturer's expiration date. Failure to provide working CO alarms can trigger code enforcement action and may be a factor in liability for CO poisoning incidents.
