Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas that can, at high levels, result in serious illness or death.
Your Woodbridge ClimateCare service technician can check CO levels during service calls, however, CO detectors should be installed on every level of the house, including one next to the home's heating equipment.
Some symptoms of CO poisoning include:
- Shortness of breath
- Nausea
- Mental confusion
- Feeling faint
- Severe headaches
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
Don't ignore symptoms, particularly if more than one person is feeling them. You could lose consciousness and even die if you do nothing. If you experience symptoms such as those listed above and think it may be CO poisoning you should:
- Leave your home and get fresh air
- Contact medical help
- Investigate the source of the leak and get it fixed
