Friday, December 18th, 2009Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Monday, December 14th, 2009Hopefully by now, you have purchased and placed a CO Detector in your home near all bedrooms. These units will normally sound an alarm if the reading surpasses 70 PPM for a period of 2 hours. We are very excited about a new product which mounts in the airstream of your furnace and will shut the furnace down if 50 PPM for 2 minutes is detected. Shutting down the source and not allowing the concentration to increase is very exciting. We will blog more as more information is available on this new, exciting product.
Clear the snow
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009There is a very good article on wcco.com reminding all of us with sidewall vented furnaces and water heaters to be sure to remove the deep snow which can block the vents.
A blocked vent can shut the appliance down or worse yet, produce carbon monoxide. So, take a moment to look at your vents and remove any snow.
Winter is here
