Furnace and Heating System Maintenance in Winter Key to Battling Carbon Monoxide Poisoning in Homes

Nov. 23, 2009 - PRLog -- Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning leads to hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries each year in homes.  Such poisoning results primarily from automobiles left running in attached garages but also from portable generators, power tools, furnaces and heaters. At the onset of cold weather, we begin operating appliances and equipment that can generate carbon monoxide gas. This includes fuel-burning equipment and appliances – especially if they malfunction or are improperly ventilated. Premier Indoor Comfort Systems service technicians suggest that their clients’ heating and cooling systems receive annual maintenance checks in order to increase the unit’s efficiency and longevity, as well as to benefit the client with savings on their utility costs and to promote an environmentally safer atmosphere for their family. They recommend that all homes install a Carbon Monoxide Alarm.

Carbon monoxide gas is deadly, even though it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. It may kill quickly or slowly, and there are no warning signs specific to carbon monoxide. Even when it is not fatal, carbon monoxide can cause permanent damage to the brain and other parts of the nervous system. It affects people of all ages, but Infants and children are even more susceptible than adults. One study supported by the EPA found that 75 percent of homes had carbon monoxide from the garage inside of the home. Homeowners have very little ability to sense the presence of CO without detectors, unlike many other indoor polluting events. As of January 1, 2009 all new homes in Georgia are required to have a Carbon Monoxide alarm. Premier Indoor Comfort Systems strongly recommends that all homes have a Carbon Monoxide Alarm. They are inexpensive and can be installed as part of the regular furnace and heating equipment maintenance.
