San Diego Carbon Monoxide Safety
Ensuring proper indoor air quality is a major concern for most homeowners, yet most people assume it is relatively simple and requires no work on their part. After all, with your house sealed up so tightly to prevent the exchange of air with the outside environment, how many contaminants could possibly find their way in?
In fact, there are probably far more contaminants than you realize in your indoor air, and carbon monoxide is one of the most dangerous. Carbon monoxide is particularly dangerous because it is odorless and you have no way of knowing it’s there, even in a very high concentration. But with prolonged or high volume exposure, carbon monoxide can cause some very real health problems and it can even be fatal if not addressed.

Carbon Monoxide Testing
There are many ways that carbon monoxide can find its way into your home. Leaky chimneys, for example, are often the culprits. Carbon monoxide also comes from back-drafting or leaky furnaces, car exhaust from an attached garage, gas stoves, wood stoves and any gas powered equipment.
Since carbon monoxide is impossible for you to detect on your own through smell or taste, professional testing needed in order to find out if it’s present in your home and where it’s coming from. Our technicians use the latest equipment to learn if carbon monoxide is present in your home and to seek out the source.
Once that’s done, we can make the necessary repairs and adjustments to get rid of the problem. But in order to keep carbon monoxide from coming back, you may need to take additional steps.
