Carbon Monoxide Testing 
Carbon Monoxide-An Invisible Killer
Each year in America, unintentional carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning claims more than 400 lives and sends another 20,000 to the hospital. There are simple steps you can take to protect yourself from deadly carbon monoxide fumes.
-
Install at least one carbon monoxide alarm with an audible warning signal near sleeping areas
-
Have a qualified professional check all fuel burning appliances, furnace, venting and chimney systems at least once a year.
-
Never use your range or oven to heat your home.
-
Never keep a car running in the garage
-
When purchasing an existing home have a qualified technician evaluate the integrity of the heating system.
Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning such as headaches, nausea, and fatigue, are often mistaken for the flu because the deadly gas goes undetected in a home. Prolonged exposure can lead to brain damage and even death.
What to do if You Suspect Carbon Monoxide in Your Home?
If illness is a factor:
-
Evacuate all occupants immediately and call 911
-
Do not re-enter the home
-
Call a qualified professional to test for carbon monoxide and repair the source of the CO
If no one is feeling ill:
-
Silence the alarm
-
Turn off all appliance and sources of combustion

Ventilate the home by opening doors and windows

Call a qualified professional to investigate the source of possible CO buildup.
