A Silent Killer in Your Salt Lake City Home?

Published on November 04, 2015
Carbon Monoxide Infographic Header

Service Experts Heating and Air Conditioning surveyed 1,000 homeowners in the U.S. and Canada on their knowledge of carbon monoxide (CO). According to The Centers for Disease Control, carbon monoxide poisoning is a primary cause of unintentional poisoning deaths – causing about 15,000 emergency room visits and nearly 500 deaths every year in the United States1. There are startling gaps in what homeowners do and don’t know about staying safe.

Many common household appliances release carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can build to dangerous levels in your home when fuel-burning devices are not properly vented, operated or maintained. Inhalation of CO could cause carbon monoxide poisoning which attacks the nervous system, heart and could be fatal. It’s crucial to have your home tested for carbon monoxide regularly to help ensure safe air quality.

Common sources of CO in homes include certain:

  • Furnaces
  • Stoves
  • Space heaters
  • Fireplaces
  • Water heaters
  • Clothes dryers

What do you know about CO?

Our survey results uncover the surprising lack of information homeowners have about the hazards of carbon monoxide:

  • 66% don’t know if they would identify the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning (headache, nausea, dizziness, or confusion).
  • 94% of homeowners know that the furnace can discharge deadly carbon monoxide gas, but more than half (54%) don’t get an annual furnace tune-up, a simple step that can help ensure good furnace operation and venting.
  • 54% don’t know the preferred place in the home to install a carbon monoxide detector (the Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends a detector outside of each separate sleeping area).
  • More than half of homeowners (54%) don’t know that the clothes dryer may be a source of carbon monoxide; 25% don’t know that that fireplace also could be a source. Other possible sources include gas water heaters, gas ranges, charcoal grills, gas space heaters and wood burning stoves.
  • Over one third of homeowners (34%) don’t have or are not sure if they have a carbon monoxide detector in their home; 41% say they never replace their carbon monoxide detector, or they aren’t sure how often it is changed.
