With wet winter weather rolling into the Bay Area, homeowners are going to be spending a lot more time indoors. While relaxing at home and being cozy are both high priority for an enjoyable winter, making sure your home’s indoor air quality (IAQ) is safe and healthy should be first on the list. If your home’s air quality is lacking, you could be exposing your family to carbon monoxide. At Hassler, we’re here to help.
What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, tasteless gas that is a byproduct of incomplete combustion. It’s very hard to detect, which unfortunately makes it the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in the US. When combustion occurs, normally the only gas given off is carbon dioxide. When there is a lack of oxygen in the combustion unit, however, carbon monoxide is produced. Combustion units in your home- including your furnace, water heaters, and boilers- could be potentially emitting CO into your home.
That’s where we come in.
