Annual summer leave now just a distant memory, kids back to school, dark nights drawing in and soon we’ll be noticing the temperature getting colder. Time for us to turn on the heating in our homes or at work which also means one thing, the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning increasing.

Carbon Monoxide will be, for the vast majority of us, one of the most toxic substances you’ll come into contact with in your daily routine. It is produced by the incomplete combustion of the fossil fuels such as gas, oil, coal and wood used in boilers, gas fires, water heaters, solid fuel appliances and open fires. Carbon Monoxide has no smell, colour or taste and can kill!

That is why its important that you have adequate ventilation, especially in today’s modern home which have double glazing and improved insulation.

One of the best ways to alert ourselves of the presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO) is to install a Carbon Monoxide Portable Alarm, not only will it detect CO it will also alert you with a loud 85dB siren. Carbon Monoxide Alarms are easy to install and come with a 5 year warranty.

With the winter days and nights nearly upon us, installing a Carbon Monoxide Portable Alarm is another smart way of keeping you and your family safe from harm.
