Carbon Monoxide

Carbon monoxide is a dangerously toxic gas especially since it's odorless and colorless. Low levels of exposure imitates side effects similar to the flu such as headaches, dizziness, disorientation, nausea, and fatigue, but high levels can lead to death before even realizing that it's entered your home. Carbon monoxide comes from several sources such as gas-fired appliances, charcoal grills, wood burning furnaces, or fireplaces and motor vehicles. To keep you and your family safe, install at least one UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listed carbon monoxide alarm with an audible warning signal close to sleeping quarters. If the alarm goes off, silence the alarm, turn off any possible sources, ventilate your home, and call a qualified professional.
