How To Treat & Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Maintain Anything That Produces Carbon Monoxide

Though most individuals know not to sit in a car or truck that has its engine on in an enclosed space, these vehicles also need to be checked by a mechanic to make sure their exhaust systems are functioning. Indeed, the homeowner needs to maintain anything that produces carbon monoxide. Air filters need to be changed in furnaces and other heating units at least once a month. Professionals can check the flues to make sure they are not clogged and clean out debris such as leaves, twigs, and even the nests or dead bodies of animals. They can also make sure there are no leaks from the pipes and replace any pipes or vents with signs of damage.
