How safe is your home from carbon monoxide poisoning? Carbon monoxide poisoning is something most people don’t give enough attention. Just how dangerous is carbon monoxide to our health?
Carbon monoxide is a colorless odorless toxic gas so it’s hard to detect if one has been affected by it without even noticing that you’re already contaminated by this deadly silent killer. The source of carbon monoxide can come from various sources. Carbon monoxide is produced when any carbon-based fuel is burned. These are fuels such as natural gas, gasoline, propane, kerosene, wood, coal or even charcoal all of which are used almost every day in our daily activities. In cases of low level carbon monoxide poisoning the symptoms are often mistaken for the flu.
What can be done to prevent this from happening in your home? Have your heating system serviced and checked every fall. Install low level carbon monoxide detectors in your home. We offer a very good detector which will alert you when the carbon monoxide level reaches 15 parts per million. This is the level at which long term exposure can produce flu like symptoms and can even be deadly to small children and the elderly.

All rooms are not alike. Some are warmer when you’d rather they be cool, some are cooler when you’d rather they be warm. How is this happening? A number of variables could be having an impact. For example, direct exposure to sunlight heats up a room – good in winter, not so good in summer.
