As the holidays approach and the Turkeys find their way into
our ovens, they bring
with them the cold air that causes most families to turn on their heaters. As
the weather cools down and heaters turn on, carbon monoxide becomes a greater
threat. Without proper prevention the tasteless, colorless and odorless gas
could possibly kill. The Center for Disease Control said on average, carbon monoxide
kills more people in the United States than any other poison. The gas has
proven deadly to El Pasoans every year. Gas heaters and gas furnaces produce the deadly gas. If your
gas heater is not properly maintained every year you could experience this problem. In order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning it is
suggested to have the gas
heater examined by a professional at least once a year. It is necessary to
remember never to heat up a home with an oven or a stove. For families who use
a fireplace in place of a heater they are reminded to clean their chimney as
often as possible. Because carbon monoxide is difficult to detect most
consumers do not notice any signs of carbon monoxide until they begin to get
nauseated, and begin to feel weak. By the time most people realize the cause,
it is too late. Carbon monoxide is such a common toxic gas, that it is the
leading cause of toxic poisoning in many parts of the world. When it is
breathed in, the gas affects the central nervous system and the heart. This can
cause long-term health effects that include erratic heartbeats, a weakened
circulatory system, or even paralysis of various parts of the body. If a person
is exposed to carbon monoxide long enough, death can and often does occur. Just do it! Get your gas heaters and
furnaces checked this winter. Before you turn it on! This is the time to clean out debris, change
the filter, and check for gas leaks and carbon monoxide. Make sure your heater is ready for the long
cold winter. Don’t wait until it’s too late. If you don’t call us, call
someone. Just make sure they have an air conditioning license. There are many reputable air conditioning
contractors here in El Paso. Of course I
think were the best. But I do own the
company. Don’t risk your family over $20.00. SoBellas Heating and Air Conditioning TACLB33647 We serve all of El Paso 915-585-2811 |
