Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Protect your family from carbon monoxide poisoning.
You may not realize it, but your home is practically a carbon monoxide (CO) factory. Fireplaces, heaters, hot water heaters, gas stoves and ovens, grills, and even the car in your garage can all create CO where you live. Generate enough CO and you've got a real health hazard on your hands.
Carbon monoxide is created when fossil fuels (gas, coal, wood, oil, etc.) are burned. While nearly all appliances and systems in your home are designed to produce a minimal amount of this poisonous gas, if these systems malfunction the result can be deadly. And it's especially dangerous because you can't see, smell or taste CO.
You can protect your family by having carbon monoxide detectors installed. A CO detector senses when an unsafe level of the gas is in the air and sounds an alarm. CO detectors should be set up and maintained like smoke alarms: Place multiple units throughout your home, hard wire the detectors into your home's electrical wiring, and test them all monthly.
Don't ignore the dangers of carbon monoxide. Your local ARS®/Rescue Rooter® professional can devise the carbon monoxide detection system for your home.
