What Is Carbon Monoxide Testing?

Carbon monoxide testing checks whether your home’s appliances are releasing harmful levels of carbon monoxide into your residence. Exposure to carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen, which leads to CO poisoning. Many of the symptoms of poisoning are similar to common illnesses, so people often fail to realize they’re being poisoned. Around 17,000 deaths in the U.S from 1999-2004 were due to carbon monoxide.

You should regularly test your home for carbon monoxide. You should also install carbon monoxide detectors anywhere where there’s a risk of carbon monoxide. Once the carbon monoxide alarm has been installed, you should take care to leave it alone. Any interference with the alarm could lead to it failing to test for carbon monoxide.

If your carbon monoxide detector gives the alarm you should call professional services immediately, and then leave the house or space so as not to succumb to the carbon monoxide.

Where Does Carbon Monoxide Come From?

Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas that is best to be avoided at all costs. Unfortunately, it’s also a common byproduct of many of our appliances and systems. Some of the most common systems in a home that can release carbon monoxide include:

• Water heaters
• Stoves
• Gas or even wood fireplaces
• A gas range
• Gas laundry dryer
• A gas furnace
• Space heaters
• Charcoal grills
• Clogged chimneys or flues
• Automobile exhaust

It’s important to have carbon monoxide detectors installed correctly to prevent a tragedy from happening in your home. And contact Paul The Plumber to repair any smoke or carbon monoxide issues immediately.
