Carbon Monoxide Testing

You Cannot See or Smell Carbon Monoxide

But it Can Kill You

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that 8,000 to15,000 people each year are examined or treated in hospitals for non-fire related CO poisoning. Breathed over long periods of time, low concentrations of CO may also contribute to other illness.

Breathing low concentrations of CO may not result in obvious symptoms of CO poisoning, yet long-term exposure can still adversely affect health. At high concentrations, CO poisoning is easy to overlook because the symptoms are non-specific and your symptoms may come and go if CO concentrations change quickly. The best way to prevent CO poisoning is to make sure your fuel-burning appliances are operating, venting and maintained properly, and by installing a CO alarm.

Do You Know For Sure That Your Home Is Safe?

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas that can build up to dangerous concentrations indoors when fuel-burning devices are not properly operated, vented, or maintained. Because it has no odor, color or taste, CO cannot be detected by smell, taste, or sight. It is estimated that acute CO poisoning contributes annually to more than 2,000 deaths in the United States.¹

If you have gas or propane appliances or fireplaces in your home then you are at risk. Even attached garages with running vehicles can leak CO into your home. Fortunately, simple measures can be taken to prevent CO problems. One such action is the installation of a CO alarm to detect potentially deadly conditions.
