Signs of Carbon Monoxide Leaks in Your Home
This silent, odorless gas is dangerous, but knowing what to look for can keep your family safe. Here are the key signs to watch for:
- Frequent Headaches and Dizziness: If you or your family members often experience headaches, dizziness, or nausea without a clear reason, it could be due to carbon monoxide exposure.
- Flu-like Symptoms: Feeling unusually tired, weak, or confused can also be signs of carbon monoxide poisoning. These symptoms often mimic the flu but without the fever.
- Breathing Problems: Shortness of breath or chest pain when indoors may indicate a carbon monoxide leak.
- Yellow or Flickering Flames: Check your gas appliances. Flames should be blue. Yellow or flickering flames can mean incomplete combustion and potential carbon monoxide release.
- Soot or Stains: Black, sooty stains around appliances, vents, or chimneys are warning signs of a leak.
- Unusual Smells: While carbon monoxide itself is odorless, the presence of other combustion byproducts can create a musty or burning smell.
- Condensation on Windows: Excessive moisture on your windows, especially near a gas appliance, can indicate a problem.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to act immediately. Turn off all fuel-burning appliances, ventilate your home by opening windows and doors, and leave the house. Call Horne Heating and Air Conditioning Inc. right away to perform a thorough carbon monoxide safety inspection.
