It's always essential that carbon monoxide detectors are placed in the right place, but if you have a new boiler it shouldn't really be a problem if its serviced reguarly (once a year) The real danger of carbon monoxide is if the boiler flue ever gets blocked and then leaks into your home.
I know it wasn't your problem, but annoying beeping of mains connected smoke alarms always occurs when the battery backup is running low.
Any extension you get done these days, always requires interconnected smoke alarms, it's an expensive proposition.
