A Simple Test from Oliver Heating and Cooling Can Spot Carbon Monoxide Danger!

August 1, 2008 by admin 

Oliver Heating & Cooling Oliver Heating & Air Conditioning knows that carbon monoxide concentrations as low as 9 parts per million can adversely effect your health (most carbon monoxide detectors have a sensitivity to concentrations above 70 ppm). Additionally, in many homes “negative pressure” exists that prevents CO from escaping normally. They test the air

and appliances in your home and install fan-assisted combustion air delivery equipment to correct any pressure imbalances.

 

Carbon monoxide can come from many different sources, including heating systems, stoves, fireplaces, and water heaters. Since the standard carbon monoxide monitor can not detect the low levels of carbon monoxide that these appliances can produce, the detection process of a Certified Analyst is critical.

 

Most commercial carbon monoxide detectors are designed to detect concentrations of CO above 70 ppm (parts per million), yet prolonged exposure to concentrations of as little as 9 ppm can cause adverse health effects. In many homes, a “negative pressure” situation exists that prevents CO from escaping normally from the house. Oliver Heating & Air will test the air and appliances in your home and install fan-assisted combustion air delivery equipment to correct any pressure imbalances that exist.
