Simply put, carbon monoxide is a silent killer. It’s a highly poisonous gas that has killed thousands in their own homes.
Carbon monoxide is a byproduct of the heat produced by your home’s HVAC system. If your heating system is working properly, carbon monoxide is drawn away safely. But if the system malfunctions, there is no way of sensing it—apart from a carbon monoxide detector.
Today’s homes are tighter and more energy efficient. But this also puts us at a higher risk of exposing ourselves to this killer gas.
It’s not only important to have multiple detectors in your home. It’s also important where they are situated. They should be placed throughout the home and always close to bedrooms so that the alarm is loud enough to awaken you and your family should carbon monoxide be detected.
Our electrician can help you choose the right location to place them, and install them professionally and securely in your home.
