What is Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?
Why Boilers are a Common Source of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Boilers can be a common source of carbon monoxide poisoning, particularly if they're not properly maintained. Faulty boilers can produce CO gas, which can seep into your home undetected. This is especially dangerous because you can't smell or see carbon monoxide, so it can go unnoticed until it's too late. The risk of carbon monoxide poisoning is higher in older boilers or those that haven't been serviced in a while.
How to Prevent CO Poisoning
Get your boiler serviced
Regular boiler servicing is essential to keep your boiler running safely and efficiently. During a boiler service, an engineer will check for any faults, leaks or damage to the boiler, including CO checks, and ensure that the gas is burning correctly. They will also check the flue and ventilation systems to make sure they are functioning properly. If a fault or issue is found, it can be repaired before it becomes a more significant problem.
Boiler servicing is an effective way to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. An engineer can detect any potential issues with your boiler and fix them before they become dangerous. They will also check that your carbon monoxide detector is working correctly and advise you on the best location for it in your home.
