Warning: Any Appliance that burns natural gas, propane gas or fuel oil is capable of
producing carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas which is odorless, tasteless
and colorless but is very toxic.
If your boiler is not vented properly or is not working properly, dangerous levels of CO may
accumulate. CO is lighter that air and may travel throughout the building. Brief exposure to high
levels of CO or prolonged exposure to lesser amounts of CO may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Exposure can be fatal and exposure to high concentrations may result in the sudden onset of
symptoms including unconsciousness.
Symptoms of CO poisoning include the following:
Dizziness
Vision Problems Shortness of Breath
Headaches Loss of Muscle Control Unclear Thinking
Nausea Weakness Unconsciousness
The symptoms of CO poisoning are often confused with influenza, and the highest incidence of
poisoning occurs at the heating season which is during flu season. A victim may not experience
all of the listed symptoms. Suspect the presence of CO if the symptoms tend to disappear when
you leave your home.
The following sign may indicate the presence of carbon monoxide:
• Hot gasses from the appliance, venting system or chimney escaping into the living
area.
• Flames coming out around the appliance.
• Yellow colored flames in the appliance when burning gas.
• Stale or smelly air.
• The presence of soot or carbon in or around the boiler.
• High unexplained humidity inside the building.
If any of these symptoms of CO poisoning occur, or if any of the signs of carbon monoxide are
present, leave the premises immediately and contact a qualified service company, the gas
company or the fire department.
To reduce the risk of CO poisoning have your heating system, vent system and chimney
inspected and serviced before each heating season
