I awoke to an alarm last night blaring in my basement.
I feared the worst such as a fire or water flooding from a broken pipe.
Upon inspection it was coming from my carbon monoxide detector. I suddenly awoke most people in the house & sent them to the neighbors. I used my cell PC to contact the emergency services & they checked my house. They proposed that we stay anywhere else that night just as a precaution. First thing the next afternoon I called my Heating & A/C business to have my boiler evaluated out. Carbon monoxide is one of the deadliest things to have leaking into your home. It has no aroma so it is known as the silent killer. After a complete inspection of the heater, our business made the necessary repairs. She did make the recommendation that we consider installing additional filters & we had him do the toil as well! I am absolutely thankful that we had the carbon monoxide detectors installed throughout the house. Any expense that ensures the safety of your family is worth it. My family & I can sleep well at night knowing that they are doing their job. I hope to never experience this again. It was so spine-chilling to guess of what may have happened in the event we were not prepared. I made an appointment for late fall next year to have the Heating & A/C evaluated before using it. Annual repair will help to avoid any further awakenings in the middle of the night. I will share this story with all my loved ones for sure to ensure their safety as well.
