Signs of Carbon Monoxide

Be aware of any of the following signs of carbon monoxide in your home:

• A CO detector that alarms. If it alarms, you MUST REACT. Never unplug it or remove the batteries. Do you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning?
• Stuffy, stale, or smelly air.
• Condensation on your windows (more than usual) may be an indication.
• Sooting around a fireplace, chimney, or other fuel-burning equipment.
• Backdrafting of your fuel-burning equipment.
• A pilot light that keeps going out.
• An unfamiliar or burning odor in your home.
