PSA From KVR Plumbing and Gas
When I replace a gas appliance in a customers home, I check for CO2 detectors. I always strongly recommend that they be installed if they are not present.
What You Need to Know About Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odourless, tasteless, invisible gas produced when fuels like propane, natural gas, oil, charcoal, or wood burn incompletely. You canโt see it or smell it, but it can make you seriously ill and can even be fatal. Because CO is impossible to detect without an alarm, awareness and prevention are essential for BC homes, especially during colder months when heating appliances are used more oftenInstall & Maintain CO Alarms
Install Canadian-certified CO alarms on every floor and near bedrooms. Test monthly, replace batteries as needed, and change the unit every 7-10 years.
