Carbon Monoxide Meters
It is a very good idea to make sure your home has a carbon monoxide meter on every floor.
Carbon monoxide meters are small, handheld devices that allow homeowners to quickly and easily measure the level of carbon monoxide present in the home. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that can kill silently - it suffocates victims by replacing oxygen in the bloodstream. The gas is most often found as a result of furnace leaks. Although it is recommended to install a carbon monoxide detector on each floor of the home, it can be handy to have a handheld meter available if one is doing repair work on the furnace in an enclosed cellar space.
