Regular carbon monoxide alarm testing ensures that your CO alarm functions as well as it should, ensuring the early detection of these deadly gas leaks. The sooner leaks are noticed, the faster you can evacuate the premises.
We recommend personally testing your CO alarms at least once a month to ensure proper function. More thorough inspections, like the kind that we provide at Essential Repairs, should be taken every three to six months.
If your carbon monoxide alarm fails our rigorous testing, we’re able to assist in the repair and replacement of the alarm itself. If the worst comes to worst and your alarm can’t be salvaged, we’ll arrange a swift replacement and retest afterwards.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas produced by burning fuel such as gas, wood, coal, or oil. It is extremely dangerous because it can cause severe health issues or even death when inhaled, as it prevents the blood from carrying oxygen to cells and tissues.
Carbon monoxide alarms should be installed near bedrooms, living areas, and any room with a fuel-burning appliance, such as kitchens, boiler rooms, and garages. For maximum protection, install alarms on each level of your home and follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines.
Carbon monoxide alarms are specifically designed to detect carbon monoxide and will not detect other gases like natural gas or propane. It is important to use the appropriate type of alarm for each specific gas hazard in your home.
Regularly test your carbon monoxide alarm by pressing the test button to ensure it sounds the alarm. Replace the batteries as needed, and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for maintenance and replacement. If the alarm fails to sound during testing, it should be replaced immediately.
If you experience symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, confusion, or shortness of breath, immediately leave the building and seek fresh air. Contact emergency services, and seek medical attention. It is crucial to identify and fix the source of the carbon monoxide leak before re-entering the building.
