Carbon monoxide (CO) is known as the silent killer.
You can’t see it, smell it, or taste it….so how do you recognize it? The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are headache, dizziness, weakness, upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion. CO symptoms are often described as “flu-like.” If you breathe in a lot of CO it can make you pass out or kill you.
Many of the sources of CO are typically working more during the winter months. Appliances like gas hot water tanks, furnaces, and generators are just a few of the most common sources of CO.
Most box stores will sell CO detectors that will alert you if the amount of gas rises in a room. For just a few dollars more, you can get a professionally installed, professional monitored CO detector for your home.
We would love to talk more about life safety detection equipment for your home or business.
