Did you know that accidental deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning in the U.S. have nearly doubled since 2012? Unfortunately, most of those deaths happen inside homes.
To keep your home safe, Greiner Heating, Air, and Electric offers carbon monoxide detectors in Vacaville, CA. They can give your family the advance warning they need to escape danger. Carbon monoxide alarms are an affordable safety upgrade that no home should be without.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that can prove fatal in sufficient quantities. Concentrations as low as 50 parts per million (ppm) are toxic and will make you sick.
The problem is that most homes have multiple potential sources of carbon monoxide. It’s something every internal combustion engine emits when running. So, if you have an attached garage, your car or lawnmower could pose a risk.
If your home has natural gas appliances, they may also contribute to the threat. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, a gas stove contributes up to 15 ppm, even when working correctly.
If improperly maintained, natural gas furnaces, water heaters, and clothes dryers can also leak carbon monoxide. In those cases, you’d have no way to know about a leak without a detector nearby.
Experts recommend installing carbon monoxide detectors in multiple parts of your home.
Near bedrooms
In garages
Near fireplaces
On each floor
There are even carbon monoxide alarms that can work collectively to protect your home. They use wired or wireless networking to communicate with one another. That’s a valuable feature, particularly in large homes. It guarantees that all your detectors will sound the alarm when any problem arises.
Some connected detectors also feature app-based monitoring and control. Through the app, you can see which alarm sensed trouble and even the concentration of carbon monoxide detected. That way, you can determine the necessary next steps, from increasing ventilation to evacuating your home.
