Signs That You Have a Carbon Monoxide Leak

Signs That You Have a Carbon Monoxide Leak

Carbon Monoxide is an odorless, colorless, and tasteless poisonous gas. It can be produced by the incomplete burning of coal, oil, gas, or other fuels and cause serious health problems. The potential sources of carbon monoxide in the house are furnaces, boilers, gas turbines, water heaters, stoves, and other gas appliances.

Signs That You Have a Carbon Monoxide Leak
1. Smelly air.
When the exhaust system of a fuel-burning appliance breaks, it fills the house or room with carbon monoxide. The various smells of the gas are fishy, metallic, and like burning tires.

2. Weakness, dizziness, and headache.
The symptoms are not always evident since all people react differently to carbon monoxide poisoning. It is essential to know the signs and symptoms of gas poisoning and act quickly when you suspect them being present in your home or workplace.

3. Breathlessness.
People suffering from gas poisoning may find breathing difficult or even scream for air. It is essential to get out of the area immediately to get fresh air since the oxygen levels are low, and you will feel suffocating.

4. Fatigue and confusion.
Exposure to the gas can cause fatigue and confusion in your body, making you lose consciousness. It can be dangerous when you are working with tools or machinery.

5. Visual changes.
If you find that the vision becomes blurry, accompanied by a yellow tinge in your eyes, then run outside immediately as this may be a sign of carbon monoxide poisoning.

6. Burning eyes and skin sensations.
If you feel like your eyes are burning and have tingling and numbness in your hands, lips, and feet, it means an increased amount of carbon monoxide in your body, which needs immediate medical attention.

7. Loss of consciousness.
Losing consciousness is a severe problem that needs immediate medical attention. The patient will be unresponsive with no pulse or breathing, and there may be no response to pain, blood pressure, or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Getting a detector that announces the presence of carbon monoxide by releasing an audible alarm and detecting visible or invisible gaseous leaks through a digital display is essential. It is also vital to have the fuel-burning appliances in your home checked regularly by a professional HVAC technician from A Plus Quality Inc.

FAQ

  • Most common Boiler Issues

    - Boiler fails to ignite
    - Low pressure
    - Strange Noises
    - Boiler is not responding to the thermostat
    - Cold Radiators
    - Boiler leaking or dripping
    - Boiler cycling very fast
    - Available Hot water but No Heat

  • How do I know what size unit I need?
    If you have any problems with your system, you should contact the contractor who installed the units. All our systems are covered by a 5 year parts, 7 year compressor limited warranty
     
  • What is a heat pump?

    Heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house and during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances.

  • What are mini-split advantages?

    Just as the name implies, a “mini-split” system is a “split system” however available in smaller capacities, for single room to whole house conditioning. Mini-split systems may range from as small as 9,000 BTUh per hour, comparable to say, a small window AC unit, for individual room use, up to 4 and 5 ton capacities for “Room By Room” (also known as “Zoning”) and whole house conditioning. With near universal design, mini-splits are “heat pumps” which provide both heating and cooling for a home. Here are key advantages when compared to traditional split systems:

    Efficiency- Mini-splits are highly engineered systems which offer attractive operating efficiencies, in many instances, eligible for utility company rebates.
    Heat Pump- Most mini-split systems are heat pumps, providing year-round comfort.
    Solar friendly- Due to very low power requirements, mini-splits are an ideal complement to “Net Zero Energy” homes, or any home using renewable power.
    Carbon footprint- Mini-splits are 100% electric, with zero operating emissions of any type.
    Zoning- Most mini-split manufacturers offer systems capable of room-by-room “zoning”, to account for peak demands of a room based upon construction type, exposure orientation and usage.
    Variable capacity- Mini-splits are typically DC inverter driven. That is, a variable speed compressor which modulates in proportion to instantaneous demand. Most conventional split systems, by comparison, operate with an ON-OFF strategy. (Would you use an ON-OFF switch as the accelerator in your vehicle?)
    Location, Location, Location!- Mini-split outdoor units are compact; they can be located far away from noise-sensitive areas, such as bedrooms and home offices. Mini-split indoor units have the ability to be installed where conventional systems cannot.
    They’re perfect for additions and remodels where access to current HVAC system is difficult to access.
    Modern mini-split systems are remarkably quiet; in fact, many times their operation is unnoticed by the end user.

  • Furnace is blowing cold air in Winter?

    This can be due to Ignition lockout, sometimes could be resolved by resetting the power  and if this does not resolve the issue you should contact a certified gas technician from A-Plus Quality to get this problem resolved!
