Install and Maintain CO Detectors Throughout Your Homer Title

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is often called the "silent killer." It's an invisible, odorless gas that can seep into your home without warning. Common sources include faulty furnaces, gas stoves, or blocked chimneys - all things we regularly use and rarely suspect.

Aire Serv of North Central Arizona is committed to helping keep your home and family safe. We're not just your local HVAC service provider but your partners in ensuring a safe and comfortable living space for you and your loved ones. Part of that commitment is helping you install and maintain reliable CO detectors throughout your Flagstaff or Camp Verde home.

The Invisible Danger of Carbon Monoxide

The danger of CO lies in its stealthy nature and its impact on the human body. When you inhale CO, it enters your bloodstream and mixes with hemoglobin—the molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen around your body—to form carboxyhemoglobin. When this happens, the blood can no longer carry oxygen, and this lack of oxygen causes the body's cells and tissue to fail and die.

Initial symptoms of CO poisoning are similar to the flu but without a fever. They include headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, and dizziness. High levels of CO can cause loss of consciousness and death.

There are many potential sources of CO in your home, including:

Gas Appliances: If not properly vented, gas stoves and ovens can release CO into your home.
Heating Systems: Faulty furnaces and heaters can emit CO, especially those not serviced regularly.
Fireplaces and Chimneys: These can produce CO if the wood or coal is not burning completely. A blocked chimney can also prevent CO from escaping.
Garages: Cars left running in a closed garage can quickly fill your home with CO.
Generators and Other Gas-Powered Equipment: If used indoors, these can produce high levels of CO.

Awareness is the first step to protection. Now that you understand the dangers of Carbon Monoxide and its common sources, you can take measures to protect yourself and your loved ones. Remember, prevention is always better than cure.

The Importance of Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Carbon monoxide detectors are designed to measure CO levels over time and sound an alarm before harmful amounts accumulate, giving people adequate warning to ventilate the area or evacuate safely. They work by using sensors that trigger an alarm when they interact with CO.

CO spreads evenly and quickly throughout a house and can seep into any room, regardless of where it originated. Having detectors in every room ensures that no matter where you are in your home, you'll be alerted if there's a leak.

Why Every Home Needs CO Detectors

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year, more than 400 Americans die from unintentional CO poisoning not linked to fires, and more than 100,000 visit the emergency room.

Luckily, CO detectors are relatively inexpensive, easy to install, and simple to maintain. The peace of mind they offer is immeasurable. They give you the chance to react, to save your life and the lives of your loved ones, before it's too late.
