Carbon Monoxide 101

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that can be lethal. It’s invisible, tasteless, odorless, and very hard to detect.If you have a carbon monoxide leak, you aren’t going to get a scratchy throat or a rash. Basically, no visible signs. We call that non-irritating. Long-term, it can really cause some problems – nausea, headache, dizziness, and even death. It’s something to take seriously. The only real way to detect a carbon monoxide leak is a detector. But the best way to prevent the leak in the first place is regular maintenance.When we come out to maintain your system, we will always do a safety check. We check the heat exchangers and flue gases.
