Carbon Monoxide: The Invisible Threat in Your Home
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless gas produced when fuels like gas, oil, and wood don't burn completely. Faulty gas appliances are a common cause of CO leaks. Because you can't see or smell it, CO can build up to dangerous levels without you even realising. Symptoms of CO poisoning can be easily mistaken for flu, including headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. In severe cases, it can lead to loss of consciousness and even death. That's why regular carbon monoxide testing is so important.

How Often Should I Have My Gas Appliances Checked?
For landlords in Chester-le-Street, it's a legal requirement to have a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) carried out every 12 months. Even if you're a homeowner, it's highly recommended to have your gas appliances checked annually. Regular servicing and safety checks can identify potential problems before they become dangerous, saving you money and protecting your family.
Protecting Your Family: The Importance of Working CO Alarms
While a Gas Safety Certificate and regular appliance checks are crucial, having working carbon monoxide alarms is an essential extra layer of protection. CO alarms detect the presence of carbon monoxide and sound an alert, giving you valuable time to evacuate the property. Make sure you have CO alarms installed in rooms with gas appliances, and test them regularly to ensure they're working properly. Preferred Gas engineers can advise on the best placement for your alarms during your Gas Safety Check.
