How To Treat & Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Testing All Appliances And Products For A Leak

Carbon monoxide is a risk if the area is heated with a furnace or space heater that runs on oil, propane or natural gas, a wood or coal burning stove, or any other appliance that must vent to the outside. These appliances need to be tested regularly to make sure they are working properly and not adding carbon monoxide into the air inside the house. Fireplaces also need to be checked and serviced regularly. HVAC experts claim testing all appliances and products for a leak should be done twice a year, once at the beginning of the heating season, and again at the beginning of the cooling season.
