Would you ask this question about a gas heating system as well?
With that, CO can also escape through a leak in the chimney.
Therefore, I would advise everyone to install a CO detector in their own or the affected room, because yes: CO also diffuses through walls.
Best regards in brief
Of course I would as well, but as far as I have read, a gas burner switches off if the combustion is not optimal, precisely to avoid CO. I have not been able to find out yet whether pellet burners switch off. In the pellet storage, however, you simply cannot "switch off"... CO is produced. Sure, it is now said that a pellet storage must be well ventilated to avoid a danger from CO. But that always sounds very vague to me. More like "then it is not so bad anymore"... In the relevant articles regarding CO, they always speak of creeping/chronic CO poisoning from small quantities. Hence my uncertainty and the question about how it looks with living spaces above the storage and the heating system.
Even if the pellet storage is ventilated, obviously a problem with CO can still occur. If the CO can then get through the ceiling into the living spaces above, of course that is anything but trivial.
CO detectors in every room then? Because the storage and burner room are really beneath a large part of the apartment.
