Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Corrosion can lead to rust and holes in the burning chamber of any gas burning appliance. Rust, damage, and invasive animals can lead to blockage of the gas ventilation system. Any of which can result in deadly carbon monoxide levels building up in your home.

Homes using any fossil fuel, which includes, gas furnaces and hot water heaters, gas fireplaces and stoves, wood burning fireplaces or heaters or any other source of fossil fuels should have carbon monoxide detectors located at bedrooms, and at least one on each floor. Like a smoke detector, a carbon monoxide detector will warn you the build-up of the gas, potentially saving lives.
