Carbon Monoxide can be formed whenever fuels such as natural gas, charcoal, gasoline, kerosene, oil, propane, or wood are burned without a sufficient supply of air for complete combustion. Vent pipes become plugged with debris.
Vent pipes have gaps, leaks, spaces or are rusted through.
Too many appliances are vented to one vent pipe. Have your gas central heating unit checked before the heating season begins to make sure the heat exchanger is not cracked or rusted, and that the burner area is clean. You can purchase a carbon monoxide detector. Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause collapse or death. If you suspect problems with your appliances, call your local gas appliance dealer or contact us .
