Carbon monoxide is also known as “the silent killer.” Colorless and odorless, carbon monoxide causes the most non-drug accidental poisoning deaths in the some country, according to the CDC.
What Causes Carbon Monoxide (CO) in Your Home?
Carbon monoxide is produced when fuels such as gas, oil, propane, kerosene, coal and wood do not burn fully.
Improper ventilation of natural gas appliances is the most common cause of CO gas in the home. These appliances include your natural gas furnace in your central HVAC system, a gas water heater, gas stove and gas fireplace.
And the leading single cause of CO poisoning at home is an improperly installed, gas-powered emergency generator.
When maintained, installed and ventilated correctly, your natural gas appliances are safe to use. However, approximately 75% of all carbon monoxide (CO)poisonings occur in the home.
