What is Carbon Monoxide and Why Is It Harmful?
Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas that emanates from the improper performance of furnaces, fuel-fired water heaters, fireplaces, and ranges. Very low levels of carbon monoxide leak may cause flu-like symptoms, such as stuffy nose, headaches, or sinus problems. Increased exposure to carbon monoxide can fatal in a very short time. It is strongly recommended that carbon monoxide detectors be present in the home. It is also suggested that additional carbon monoxide filters be installed near the furnace, to guarantee proper functioning.
What Causes Carbon Monoxide Buildup?
- When the heat exchanger in the furnace is broken or cracked, carbon monoxide can leak and create build up.
- If an oil-burning furnace is non-functional or becomes very dirty
- Inadequate air supply to an appliance which means it is heavily concentrated with carbon monoxide.
