Understanding and Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a severe threat to many homes and workplaces across the U.S. Often referred to as the “silent killer” due to its colorless, odorless, and tasteless nature, CO can be extremely dangerous if not detected and addressed promptly. 

What is CO Poisoning?

CO is a toxic gas produced by the incomplete burning of fuels, such as natural gas, propane, gasoline, and wood. Common household appliances and equipment that can generate CO include:

  • Furnaces and boilers
  • Water heaters
  • Gas stoves and ovens
  • Fireplaces
  • Generators
  • Charcoal grills

When inhaled, CO enters the bloodstream and binds to hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. This disrupts the oxygen delivery process, depriving vital organs like the brain, heart, and lungs of essential oxygen, leading to potential organ damage or even death.

Symptoms of CO Poisoning:

The symptoms of CO poisoning can vary depending on the severity and duration of exposure. Symptoms can often resemble flu symptoms, making early detection challenging. Here are some key warning signs:

  • Headache is the most common symptom, often described as a throbbing or pulsating pain.
  • Nausea and vomiting: Feeling nauseous or experiencing vomiting can be another indicator.
  • Dizziness and lightheadedness: CO exposure can cause dizziness, disorientation, and confusion.
  • Fatigue and weakness: Feeling unusually tired or weak can indicate CO poisoning.
  • Shortness of breath: Difficulty breathing can be a serious symptom and requires immediate medical attention.

If you suspect CO poisoning:

  • Evacuate the affected area immediately: Open windows and doors to ventilate the space and allow fresh air to circulate.
  • Seek fresh air: Move everyone outdoors to breathe fresh air.
  • Call 911 or your local emergency number: Get immediate medical attention, even if symptoms seem mild.
  • Do not re-enter the affected area: Wait for emergency personnel to arrive and assess the situation.

Preventing CO Poisoning:

Taking proactive measures to prevent CO poisoning is crucial to ensure your family’s safety. Here are some essential steps you can take:

  • Install CO detectors: Every home should have working CO detectors placed outside each sleeping area and on every floor, including the basement. Make sure they are regularly tested, and the batteries are replaced every six months.
  • Maintain your appliances: Have your furnace, water heater, and other fuel-burning appliances inspected and serviced annually by a qualified technician.
  • Proper ventilation: Always ensure adequate ventilation when using appliances that burn fuel, such as gas stoves or fireplaces. Never use grills or generators indoors.
  • Never leave a running car in an attached garage: Exhaust fumes can build up and seep into the house.

When you contact our furnace repair experts, we know your home has probably become uncomfortable. Usually, that is not a problem for you unless it is frigidly cold outside or someone in the house is very old or young. While we are taking care of your furnace repair, it’s best to find a warm place to wait if you can. Extra coats and blankets will be needed only until we can get your system back online. Lincoln is known for our cold weather winters.

We recommend at the first sign that something may be wrong with your system, you contact us. Until we have the ability to assess the situation, we won’t know how long it will take to repair or if a replacement is necessary. Losing heat in a low-temperature situation is never comfortable. You can take precautions by inspecting your equipment in the fall or as soon as possible. We all have had the experience that equipment seems to fail at the most inconvenient times.

The best scenario we recommend is making it a point to call Bill’s every year in the fall to have your furnace inspected and maintained. Preparing your equipment for the weather that is to come will save you from having to make that call when your furnace is not performing the job it was installed to do. If your equipment is over 15 years old, this is especially important. A planned replacement for your HVAC system is also a prudent idea.
