Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Carbon monoxide poisoning can be a serious threat to your health. Of all of the poisoning death causes in the United States, carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the most common. If undetected, this leaking gas can kill an entire family in a matter of hours or minutes. Because it lacks color, taste, and odor, it is among the most dangerous home hazards—however, carbon monoxide poisoning is 100% preventable with a detector. Installing reputable carbon monoxide detectors can be the literal difference between life and death.
Some of the most common systems within a home can release carbon monoxide, including:
- Gas range
- Stove
- Gas clothes dryer
- Water heater
- Furnace
- Gas or wood fireplace
- Space heaters
- Car exhaust
- Charcoal grills
- Clogged chimneys or flues
