It has to be done in a completely sealed room from what I've gathered or else it will just be a waste of money.
In my opinion it is more of an end game upgrade, after you find your feet with dialing in your environment, which can take a few grows to figure out at the least anyway. I wouldn't be stressing over it too much, but if you do really want it there's a few good YouTube videos which give a run down on what you'll need to get up and running

What Goonie said, only really worth it if you're dialed in environmental wise, temp/humidity/vpd and media/nutes. But the jist of it is sorting out a bottle from the gas place. Then there's the pressure regulator, just a typical brass reg can do the trick. Check out your local welding supply store, plus they can probably point you in the right direction of CO2. There is also digital regs out there, I think. They sample the air at PPM or run from a timer then release CO2 when required.
Apparently there is a ceiling on the amount of CO2 that plants can intake to.
Never used it before and don't really plan to in the future, haha.

Waste of money in a small flowering room.
Maybe if you have a large bedroom
size ( say at least 3 metres x 3 metres) it could be worthwhile.
You will also need air conditioning and dehumidifier ( in most parts of Eastern Aus seaboard), to maximise benefits of Co2.
Be prepared for quarterly electricity bills of $3,000+ if you're not running rooftop solar.
A previous TSE member used CO2 in a sealed bedroom( average size)in QLD. His quarterly electricity bills were always $3000, which included constant running 24/7 air conditioning

Shit that’s cheap i wish my power bill was that, but I'm lucky enough to have big solar system with three battery banks 37kw. We have to run air conditioning pretty much every day.
We only get two weeks of winter.
Our bill use to be $4000 a quarter now it's around $250.

Thats a pretty good ROI. Most likely 10:1 return on power costs

CO2 enrichment is well worth it in my opinion.
You need to have a well sealed room with air con (preferably split system) and a decent capacity de humidifier. The most efficient way to gas the grow room is with a CO2 controller, regulator with solenoid and a CO2 bottle or burner for colder climates. Keeping CO2 levels between 700ppm and saturation point of 1400ppm gives a noticeable increase in speed of growth and yield.
