It’s essential for every household to have a working carbon monoxide detector, and Indianapolis plumbers are leading by example. At Ace Plumbing Repair, we believe it’s crucial to give back to our community, which is why we have donated several carbon monoxide detectors to our local fire department.
Carbon monoxide gas, also known as “the silent killer,” is odorless, tasteless, and colorless. It can cause serious harm and even death if inhaled in high concentrations. Carbon monoxide is produced by all gas appliances, including hot water heaters, boilers, and furnaces. That’s why installing carbon monoxide detectors throughout your home or business is essential.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, carbon monoxide alarms should be installed on every level of your home, including outside each sleeping area. They recommend that consumers purchase carbon monoxide alarms that have the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) logo and an audible warning alarm that sounds at a volume of at least 85 decibels.
At Ace Plumbing Repair, we believe education is key. Here are a few things you can do to protect your family and loved ones from carbon monoxide poisoning:
1. Install a carbon monoxide detector: Every home and business should have carbon monoxide detectors installed, no matter the age or condition of appliances.
2. Schedule annual tune-ups for your HVAC system: Regular maintenance of your heating and cooling systems can help identify potential carbon monoxide leaks.
3. Invest in high-quality HVAC equipment: Purchase high-quality heating and cooling equipment to help ensure that your systems are less prone to carbon monoxide leaks.
4. Never run your car or generator in an enclosed space: Carbon monoxide gas can quickly build up and become a serious health hazard.
5. Never use gas-powered tools indoors: Lawnmowers, generators, and other gas-powered tools should always be used outdoors where there is proper ventilation.
