Home Safety Tips cont.
1. Have all fuel-burning appliances inspected and cleaned yearly by a qualified
service technician. The furnace, water heater, and stove are some of the leading
sources of CO in homes.
2. Clean fireplace vents and chimney regularly. A blocked chimney could cause a
backdraft of CO into the home. Do not cap chimney. This will cause a backdraft
of CO into the home.
3. Do not cap or cover a drafthood or exhaust vent to any appliance. This will trap
dangerous CO inside the house.
4. Do not close off or confine your fuel-burning appliances in a closed area. They
need plenty of ventilation to operate properly.
5. Do not use liquid propane (LP) or charcoal grills indoors.
6. Do not operate any gasoline-powered equipment indoors.
7. Allow for plenty of ventilation when using a kerosene heater. Do not use in small
areas.
Preventative maintenance, common sense, and a CO detection device are some
of the best methods of preventing CO poisoning. However, a dangerous situation
can happen to anyone at any time. The following list illustrates some danger signs
of CO presence.
1. Soot and dirt build-up seeping out of chimney or other exhaust vents.
2. A mostly yellow (rather than clear blue) burner flame or pilot flame in gas appliances.
3. A draft of air coming from an appliance, chimney, or vents.
If you have flu-like symptoms or suspect CO poisoning, seek medical assistance
immediately.
