Your Carbon Monoxide Test Specialists
Is your home in need of carbon monoxide testing? It’s vitally important to safeguard your property against this toxic gas to ensure the safety of your family.
Cyber Air Conditioning has a team of experts ready to test for carbon monoxide leaks in your home. We’re on the road 24/7, every day of the year, including public holidays.
The Dangers of Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is invisible and has no smell. As a result, it is very difficult to detect. Created as a byproduct of burning fuel in gas and wood heaters and other gas appliances, you always need to be protected against carbon monoxide leaks.
It’s why gas fireplaces must be flued, to ensure all emissions are vented outside the home. The risk of gas leaks or carbon monoxide leaks are also why gas hot water systems must be installed outside, and why space heaters are recommended for use only in well-ventilated areas.
The nature of carbon monoxide, which is also flammable like gas, means that it’s hard to detect. However, there are safety steps you can take. If you have never had your gas appliances tested, it is important to have it done soon. Cyber Air Conditioning is a specialist in carbon monoxide testing and we’re available 24/7, every day of the year.
The Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to those of the flu, so it can be difficult to know that it’s happening. If you notice that everyone in the house, including your pets, is suffering from the same symptoms, it’s definitely time to schedule a carbon monoxide test with Cyber Air Conditioning.
Some of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:
- Headaches
- Weakness
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Shortness of breath
- Confusion
- Blurred vision
- Loss of consciousness
Another sign that you’ve got a carbon monoxide leak is if you feel much better when you’re away from your home. Make sure you consult a health care practitioner if you are experiencing these symptoms.
This is potentially an emergency, but on the positive side, Cyber Air Conditioning is available 24/7. We can be at your door within an hour of your call* in an emergency.
Where Do Carbon Monoxide Leaks Come From?
Wherever combustion occurs, you will find carbon monoxide. In an outdoor environment, such as when it’s created by a campfire, CO is relatively safe. Indoors is where the greatest risk occurs. Poor ventilation and damaged flues can lead to carbon monoxide build-up, which is highly dangerous.
The top five causes of household carbon monoxide leaks are:
- Gas furnaces
- Gas stoves or ovens
- Fireplaces (gas and wood burning)
- Gas clothes dryers
- Vehicles
For the most part, your gas log fires and gas heaters will be flued and ventilated. If you have a gas appliance installed by Cyber Air Conditioning, it will be commissioned with a certificate of compliance, which means it meets all government regulations.
However, if you do have an older heater, it would be wise to contact Cyber Air Conditioning for a carbon monoxide test. With so many potential causes of a carbon monoxide leak, we can ensure all of your gas appliances are safe and sound.
Other Signs You Need CO Testing
Beyond the flu-like symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, here are some other indicators that you might have a CO leak in your home.
- Black or yellow stains – Sooty or yellow stains and marks around gas stoves and fireplaces could be evidence of a loose connection.
- Yellow or orange flames – Your stove’s gas burners should emit a blue flame when lit. Yellow or orange flames could mean your gas burners aren’t igniting properly.
- Pilot light keeps blowing out – If you notice the pilot light on furnaces, gas stoves and water heaters flickers or won’t stay lit, it could be a sign of carbon monoxide leaking.
- Condensation buildup – Condensation build-up on glass and windows in rooms where gas appliances are used could mean that carbon monoxide is not venting properly.
