Carbon Monoxide Testing

What is Carbon Monoxide?

Carbon monoxide is invisible and has no smell. As a result, it is very difficult to detect. Created as a byproduct of burning fuel in gas heaters, you always want to be protected against carbon monoxide leaks. Especially as you may not be aware of the side effects.

The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are very similar to those of the flu, and many people brush off the associated headaches. But with thousands of Australians admitted to hospital in the past twenty years for carbon monoxide poisoning, we know how real a threat it is. With your body starved of oxygen, it would cause rapid harm to your vital organs.

Carbon Monoxide Testing FAQ

What would cause carbon monoxide in a home?

Carbon monoxide is produced anytime natural gas is burned, so space heaters, gas log fires and cookers that rely on gas all produce carbon monoxide. This is why gas appliances require an exhaust fan or flue, which is a form of chimney used to remove CO from within the home.

How do you test for carbon monoxide?

The best way to determine if carbon monoxide is present in your home is with a device called a carbon monoxide tester/meter/detector or with a smoke alarm that also has carbon monoxide detection capabilities. Alternatively, an air conditioning technician or plumber will also carry the required gear to test for and repair potential leaks.

How can I prevent CO poisoning in my home?

You can reduce the risks of CO poisoning by making sure your gas burning appliances are installed correctly and are flued to outside the home. Repairs should be conducted immediately so gas cannot build up and a carbon monoxide detector can alert you to any present leaks. For professional testing, repairs and installation, give the team at Metropolitan a call.
