 Clover
Heating & Cooling
knows that carbon monoxide
concentrations as low as 9 parts per
million can adversely effect your
health (most carbon monoxide
detectors have a sensitivity to
concentrations above 70 ppm).
Additionally, in many homes
"negative pressure" exists that
prevents CO from escaping normally.
We test the air and appliances in
your home and install fan-assisted
combustion air delivery equipment to
correct any pressure imbalances. We
also offer the
NSI 3000 Low-Level CO Monitor,
which is sensitive to CO
concentrations as low as 5 ppm.
Facts About Carbon Monoxide
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless and
odorless gas that can be emitted by
home appliances and can cause
illness and death. Public awareness
of the danger of carbon monoxide has
increased due to newspaper headlines
such as, Six Dead From Carbon
Monoxide! and Carbon Monoxide Sends
Mother and Sons to Hospital! Many
homeowners and people alike have
purchased carbon monoxide monitors
for this reason.
Low levels of carbon monoxide have
been shown to be dangerous to all
especially those with heart and lung
disease, the elderly, pregnant
woman, unborn children and children.
Carbon monoxide poisoning produces
flu-like symptoms, headache, sore
throat, rapid heart beats, memory
loss, thinking difficulties, and
sensitivity to light, sound, smell,
etc. Out of approximately 12,000
patients in the U.S. each year with
flu-like symptoms, about 2,000 of
them are thought to actually be
suffering from carbon monoxide
poisoning. Most of which could have
probably been avoided with proper
detection.
Carbon monoxide can come from many
different sources, including heating
systems, stoves, fireplaces, and
water heaters. Since the standard
carbon monoxide monitor can not
detect the low levels of carbon
monoxide that these appliances can
produce, the detection process of a
Certified Analyst is critical.
Most commercial carbon monoxide
detectors are designed to detect
concentrations of CO above 70 ppm
(parts per million), yet prolonged
exposure to concentrations of as
little as 9 ppm can cause adverse
health effects. In many homes, a
"negative pressure" situation exists
that prevents CO from escaping
normally from the house. Anthony is
certified by the National Comfort
Institute as a Carbon Monoxide and
Combustion Analyst. He will test the
air and appliances in your home and
install fan-assisted combustion air
delivery equipment to correct any
pressure imbalances that exist.
