It's the law!

New State Law UL 2034, states “All homes must be equipped with Carbon Monoxide Detectors for all sales of single or multi-family homes”. This applies to current homeowners as well. This is all due to the fact that since last October, ten residents in the state have died after being exposed to the lethal gas.

Carbon Monoxide, also known as the “Silent Killer” is a by-product of combustion in fuel burning appliances such as gas or oil furnaces, fireplaces, water heaters, ovens, and clothes dryers. Carbon Monoxide poisoning can occur when these appliances malfunction, are not properly vented, or are poorly maintained.

Have a professional regularly check the home’s flues, vents, chimneys and fuel-burning appliances to make sure they work properly. Also have the venting system checked for leaking duct work. A home carbon monoxide detector sounds an alarm before healthy adults begin to experience symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
