When it comes to keeping your home safe and cozy, few things are as essential as a properly functioning furnace. But did you know that a defective furnace could pose a serious health risk to you and your loved ones? Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, often called the “silent killer,” is a life-threatening hazard that every homeowner should be aware of.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning, how it can be caused by a faulty furnace, and most importantly, how you can protect your family. Plus, we’ll share how Dor-Mar Heating & Air Conditioning can help ensure your furnace is running safely and efficiently—at no cost to you with a free safety check. Let’s dive in.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas produced by burning fuel. Because it’s undetectable without specialized equipment, it can easily build up in enclosed spaces without anyone noticing. When inhaled, CO interferes with your body’s ability to transport oxygen, leading to symptoms like headaches, dizziness, confusion, and even death in severe cases.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that more than 400 Americans die from unintentional CO poisoning each year, and tens of thousands more require medical attention. These sobering statistics highlight the importance of taking proactive steps to prevent CO exposure in your home.
Your furnace plays a crucial role in heating your home, but it can also become a source of carbon monoxide if it’s not functioning properly. Here are some common ways a defective furnace can lead to CO exposure:
While carbon monoxide itself is undetectable to human senses, there are warning signs that could indicate a problem:
The good news is that carbon monoxide poisoning is entirely preventable. Here are some essential steps to keep your home safe:
