Make up your own interpretation of that above line, however
in this case it refers to Carbon Monoxide…known to chemists by the moniker
CO. It is a gas you cannot see or smell
which is produced by the incomplete processing of solid, liquid, and gaseous
fuels, as well as appliances fueled with oil, liquefied petroleum, natural gas,
coal, kerosene, or wood.
Here are some signs that you have a carbon monoxide leak in
your home –
1. Heavy condensation
on the windows where an appliance is installed
2. Brownish stains
around a leaking appliance
3. Air that smells as
if something is burning
4. No upward draft in
the chimney flue
5. Solid fuel fires
burn more slowly
6. The pilot light
keeps flickering and going out
The first line of defense against carbon monoxide poisoning
is making sure that your home’s heating equipment is being inspected on an
annual basis. In Belen and the
Albuquerque area that’s easy. Just call
Daylight Electric and Appliance at (505) 864-3980. They will do a full inspection and help keep
your family safe…now that’s having 2020 vision in the new year.
