Why Carbon Monoxide testing is necessary?
Carbon monoxide testing is necessary to ensure the safety of individuals in homes and buildings with fuel-burning appliances, such as gas furnaces, water heaters, and stoves. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that can be produced by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. When inhaled, it can cause symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and even death in high concentrations. Regular testing can detect carbon monoxide leaks and ensure that appliances are functioning properly and safely. It’s recommended to have carbon monoxide detectors installed in each bedroom and on every level of your home, as well as to schedule professional testing and inspection of your fuel-burning appliances at least once a year by a licensed HVAC technician. Carbon monoxide testing is essential for the safety and well-being of you and your family.
