It is no secret that furnaces can leak carbon monoxide. This poses a problem to homeowners across the country because it is a deadly gas. If there is a carbon monoxide leak in your home, it can be very detrimental to your health. No homeowner wants that. Below are some steps you can take to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. 

  • Make sure that you have smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors located in every level of the house.
  • Remember to place new batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
  • Be sure to open the flues when you are utilizing a fireplace.
  • Generators should never be used inside the home. 
  • Space heaters should only be used in well-ventilated places. 
  • Never use a gas oven to heat the house.
  • Check your appliances, chimneys, and vents for corrosion.
  • Have your heating system inspected at least once a year by a professional.
