Carbon Monoxide (CO) What You Don't See CAN Hurt You.

Every winter we hear about individuals and families that fall prey to a colorless and scentless killer, CarbonMonoxide (CO).  There are steps you can take to protect yourself from carbon monoxide. 

Carbon Monoxide can come into your home from a fireplace, a furnace and any appliance that  gas coal oil or wood.  An appliance could be cauing a problem if it has condensation, blockage, yellow flame or sooting. 

Since it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless you need to rely on a different method to make sure you are protected.  Have your appliances checked by an professional, your chimney swept and avoid running a car in an enclosed area (like a garage) or cooking with outside appliances (grills) inside.
