Managing a holiday home, a short-term rental apartment or a B&B in Italy today also means ensuring safe environments for guests.
The Decreto Anticipi has made the installation of devices for detecting combustible gas and carbon monoxide mandatory in tourist accommodation units: a measure designed to prevent accidents and protect both property owners and travellers.
But which detectors are really needed in practice?
Gas, CO and smoke: essential devices
In tourist rentals, the main risks concern:
- Natural gas or LPG: leaks from cooktops, boilers, water heaters, gas cylinders;
- Carbon monoxide (CO): produced by incomplete combustion (boilers, stoves, fireplaces);
- Fire smoke: electrical faults, kitchen fires, fabrics, etc.
To cover these risks, Beinat offers specific devices for residential use:
- CHCO – dual detector for natural gas & carbon monoxide for domestic use: with a single device you monitor both methane and CO presence.
- GS911K – methane/LPG explosive gas detector for residential use: ideal when the system uses LPG or when dedicated gas leak monitoring is required.
- CO922 – carbon monoxide detector for domestic use, with intervention thresholds designed to protect people even during prolonged exposure to low concentrations.
- RFA300 – battery-powered autonomous smoke and fire detector: detects different types of smoke (white or black) and activates the alarm without control units, perfect for rooms and corridors.
Where to install them in a holiday home or B&B
In general, in tourist accommodation it is advisable to:
- place a gas detector (CHCO or GS911K) in the kitchen or cooking area, near methane or LPG sources;
- install a CO detector (CHCO or CO922) near sleeping areas or where boilers, stoves or fireplaces are present;
- provide one or more RFA300 smoke detectors in rooms and corridors to quickly signal the start of a fire.
By following installation and maintenance instructions, these devices significantly increase the level of safety perceived by guests and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
An added advantage for your tourist rental
Equipping your property with professional gas, CO and smoke detectors is not just an obligation: it is also a way to stand out, improve reviews and communicate a strong focus on safety.
Beinat devices are designed specifically for owners and managers of holiday homes, apartments and B&Bs in Italy who want to make their spaces safer with solutions that are easy to choose and install.
