Everyone should really know the symptoms, and what to do if they suspect that carbon monoxide fumes are present in their home. They also need to know what measures they can take to stop the fumes from being produced in the first place. Carbon monoxide is a killer that has no discernable tastes, smells or anything that will indicate its presence until it is too late.Carbon Monoxide Detectors:The gas detectors are available at most retailers and are not highly priced. Ideally fitted all over the house, on all floors, in particular the bedrooms and areas close to boilers and flues. Fit where an open flue or solid fuel burning appliances are located. Do not be fit above or next to boilers, fires or cookers, as they have been known to give out carbon monoxide that could give a false alarm as they fire up.Location:Position the detectors at 150mm down from the ceiling, higher is fine, never lower. Higher than windows or doors that can be opened, between 1.8m and 4.5m from a potential source, and not in any areas of humidity like a bathroom due to water/steam damage. An East London Plumber knows the warning signs. Central Heating Boiler:The heating boiler needs to burn with a particular shape and colour of the flame which indicates it is safe and not producing carbon monoxide. Looking at the flame through the glass viewer on the boiler and you should see the flame burning blue with the in and outer core well defined. Should the flame burn orange or yellow, then the combustion is not right and should be sorted. East London Plumbers are gas safe. If a combustion issue occurs, the flame begins to release soot, covering everything around the boiler.Symptoms:Should any of the symptoms below be experienced, then, you need to turn off the boiler and call a professional gas engineer. You must always report any problems with gas.Headaches.Tiredness.Vomiting.Nausea.If you or anyone in the home experiences any of these symptoms, then you should shut the boiler down and call a gas safe engineer straight away, headaches, tiredness, dizziness and nausea. ALWAYS REPORT IT!
