Do you have a CO Detector or CO Monitor?


The biggest problem with carbon monoxide (CO) is that you can't see it, smell it or taste it.  This makes it very difficult to know when it's present in your home.  Most people are unaware of the devastating effects of ongoing low-level carbon monoxide poisoning.  Some of the units marketed require a level of 70 ppm (parts per million), however at 30 ppm there can be issues for heart patients, unborn babies and young children.  Make sure your CO detector picks up low levels.  Elite sells a model manufactured by CO-Experts that can pick up and sound an alarm at even 7 ppm.  It's always better to be safe and have that pound of prevention!
