Detecting a Carbon Monoxide leak
Published on Jul 16, 2013 by Coleman Levin
As well as being difficult to detect, carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms are non-specific and may resemble the flu or other illness, making it more of a struggle to diagnose.
The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from the dangers of carbon monoxide is through prevention.
If you are experiencing flu like symptoms it is always safer to get checked out to either diagnose, or eliminate the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning. However, symptoms can differ widely.
The most reliable way to ensure that you are safe from carbon monoxide in your home is to have regular servicing to gas heaters.
A free carbon monoxide test is inclusive in all serviced conducted by Colbycool.
Regular servicing also ensures optimal efficiency and lowers the risk of carbon monoxide exposure.
