Protecting Your Family from an Invisible Threat

When it comes to home heating, safety should always be your top priority. While many homeowners focus on energy efficiency and comfort, there’s a silent killer that often goes unnoticed: carbon monoxide (CO). At Staab & Sons, Inc., we believe it’s crucial to educate our customers about the importance of CO detection in their heating systems.

What is Carbon Monoxide?

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas produced by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. It can be emitted by various household appliances, including:

• Furnaces
• Water heaters
• Gas stoves
• Fireplaces

The Dangers of CO Exposure

Exposure to carbon monoxide can lead to severe health issues and even death. Symptoms of CO poisoning include:

• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Confusion
• Shortness of breath

Protecting Your Home

To safeguard your family from this invisible threat, consider these steps:

1. Install CO detectors on every floor of your home
2. Schedule regular heating system maintenance
3. Ensure proper ventilation for all fuel-burning appliances
