| In
the United Kingdom, numerous agencies and organisations now recognize the
importance of annual heating system inspection and maintenance in
preventing carbon monoxide poisoning.
A well tuned stove or boiler,
connected to a venting system or flue that is correctly sized,
structurally sound, clean and free of blockages, will operate efficiently
and produce a warm and comfortable home. Carbon monoxide detectors are now
readily available and no home should be without at least two, one near the
appliance and one near the sleeping area of the home. Detectors are NOT a
substitute for routine maintenance, but can be a lifesaver should problems
occur.
Considering the risks involved when
gas or oil systems are neglected, and the benefits that accrue when they
are properly maintained, we suggest you have your appliance serviced
yearly by a qualified technician and your chimneys checked annually by a
NACE registered Chimney Engineer and cleaned or repaired as necessary.
