Licensed contractor needed etc.
I do not test for CO, I did when I started but I quickly discovered that it testing for CO and reporting the results can lead to issues down the road. Testing for CO is well outside the scope of a home inspection.
If you do test for CO, I would advise you to do so outside of the view of your client and use the results only as an indicator that something is possibly wrong. I would also advise you not to report that you tested for CO.
