  • According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, 2,100 Americans die each year from unintentional carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Carbon monoxide is tasteless, odorless, and colorless, making it an undetectable killer without a carbon monoxide detector. However, CO poisoning is entirely preventable with the right precautions.

  • Unlike smoke, carbon monoxide diffuses evenly throughout your home, making proper placement of CO detectors crucial. Standalone detectors should be installed at knee or chest height, with knee-height being ideal as it aligns with face-level during sleep. Combination detectors, which detect both smoke and CO, should be placed at ceiling height to effectively sense smoke. It’s important to avoid placing detectors behind doors or curtains, as this can hinder their functionality. Ensuring that detectors are strategically positioned can significantly enhance safety by providing timely alerts to potential carbon monoxide presence.

The Signs of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Carbon monoxide poisoning can be deadly if not detected early. Knowing the symptoms can save lives. If you experience these symptoms, it’s crucial to get fresh air immediately and seek medical attention. This invisible threat can be present in many households and vehicles without being noticed. Installing carbon monoxide detectors can provide an additional layer of safety. The following are the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning:

  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness
  • Sleepiness
  • Lightheadedness
  • Vomiting
  • Fatigue or weakness
  • Shortness of breath
  • Irregular breathing
  • Chest pain
  • Confusion

The Most Common Sources of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Understanding where carbon monoxide can originate is crucial for prevention. Using these appliances in poorly ventilated areas or when they malfunction can lead to dangerous CO levels. Always ensure proper ventilation and regular maintenance of these devices. Common sources include:

  • Water heaters
  • Furnaces
  • Gas clothes dryers
  • Gas ranges or stoves
  • Wood or gas fireplaces
  • Car exhausts
  • Gas or charcoal grills
  • Fuel-burning space heaters

  • State and local laws mandate the installation of smoke detectors near every bedroom, in halls, stairways, and garages. These safety measures are crucial for early fire detection and can save lives. Many new construction regulations require detectors to be hardwired into your home’s electrical system, including battery backups and interconnect with one another. Mr. Electric of Phoenix Metro can ensure that your home complies with these regulations. We use top-quality equipment and follow best practices for installation. Proper installation means you can rest easy, knowing your home is protected against fire hazards.
