If preventable measures are not taken there can be a possible odorless and colorless by-product filling our homes (from combustion) called Carbon Monoxide (CO). This is also known by some people as the silent killer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every year, there continues to be a number of preventable hospitalizations or deaths associated with carbon monoxide poisoning. There are some general offensive and defensive tips that can either prevent such incidents or save you if an accident happens to occur.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Offensive actions (preventative):<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Have all gas appliances in your home inspected by a professional on a yearly basis (i.e. Furnaces, gas fireplaces, and gas water heaters);<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep clutter away from gas-powered furnaces \u201cit needs to breathe\u201d. As a rule, you should keep a space of a minimum 30 inches (76 cm) around the furnace. <\/span><b>Please check your local fire prevention office and or local building codes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>Defensive action (your last line of defense):<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Accidents can happen, and having a carbon monoxide (CO) detector on every floor and bedroom of your residence is not only necessary it may even be a requirement. <\/span><b>Please check your local fire prevention office and or local building codes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Remember that CO detectors have a shelf life and may vary from five to seven years.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In closing, these simple tips could potently prevent incidents involving carbon monoxide. When in doubt call your local fire prevention office or even your home insurance company and they can provide some guidance.
