We hear about the dangers of carbon monoxide and tragic stories every year, especially in the winter...
Carbon monoxide detectors are an absolute must – year round – and the E.P.A. says we need to be careful about how we choose one. CO detector technology is still developing and they’re not quite as reliable as smoke detectors yet. Be sure to look for UL certification on any detector you purchase.
Once you’ve purchased and installed your CO detector, don’t let that lull you into a false sense of security. Preventing carbon monoxide from becoming a problem is still the best protection for you and your family. Be sure to have fireplaces and any fuel burning appliances checked and maintained regularly – and never idle your car in the garage, even if the garage door is open.
