Carbon Monoxide Detection & Prevention in Lubbock

Keeping Customers Safe for Over 40 Years

According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 400 people die and more than 20,000 people make emergency room visits in the United States each year from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning. Produced from the incomplete combustion of fuel, CO gas is difficult to detect because it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. Gas and oil furnaces, wood-burning stoves, gas cooking stoves, lanterns, and gas-powered generators are common household appliances that create this poisonous gas. Automobile and truck exhaust also produce CO gas. Running a car in a garage can create toxic levels within 10 minutes.

There is good news, though. There are several ways to protect your loved ones from CO poisoning. Installing carbon monoxide detection alarms throughout your house and having your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system checked regularly can minimize the risk of suffering from the effects of poisonous gases. At Sinclair Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, Inc, we are happy to assist you with carbon monoxide detection installation in Lubbock.

What Is Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?

Because people and animals cannot sense the presence of CO, they are not aware that they are breathing it in. The elderly, infants and those with heart or respiratory diseases are more likely to get sick. However, everyone is at risk of getting sick or dying from CO poisoning. Symptoms may vary depending on the concentrations of the gas and an individual’s health.

Symptoms include:

Tips to Prevent CO Poisoning

• Make sure to have your HVAC system tuned up twice a year. A qualified HVAC contractor will include a carbon monoxide check during routine seasonal maintenance.
• Have chimneys, vents, and gas water heaters inspected.
• Make sure all appliances are properly vented.
• Never use a portable generator indoors. Generators should be operated away from living spaces in well-ventilated areas.
• Install carbon monoxide alarms.
• Know the symptoms of poisoning from CO gas. If you feel that you or your family are affected, go outside immediately, and call 911.
