Cold Weather Minute: Stay Safe in Your Home with a Carbon Monoxide Detector
January 15, 2010
Ensure your home is heated safely by adding a carbon monoxide detector. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, tasteless gas created whenever combustion takes place without sufficient oxygen. Very poisonous and even lethal in enclosed spaces, carbon monoxide is most often created by malfunctioning or improperly vented appliances. Add a carbon monoxide detector to your home to ensure your family’s safety this heating season and all year long. Simple carbon monoxide detectors plug into an electrical outlet.
