Where Carbon Monoxide Comes From (and Why Detectors Matter)
Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced when fuels do not burn completely. Because CO is colourless and odourless, you will not “notice” it without a properly installed CO alarm. Early detection is the difference between a close call and a medical emergency.
Heating Equipment
Gas/propane/oil furnaces and boilers, fireplaces, wood stoves, and other fuel-burning heaters.
Hot Water & Cooking
Gas water heaters, ranges, ovens, and any appliance that burns fuel inside or attached to the home.
Attached Garages
Vehicle exhaust and small engines. CO can enter a home even if the garage door is open and the vehicle runs briefly.
Blocked Vents & Drafting Issues
Blocked chimneys/vents, improper combustion air, or poor draft can push CO back into the home.
CO incidents are more common in winter when windows are closed and ventilation is reduced. A carbon monoxide detector is the only practical way to confirm rising CO levels in real time. Correct placement (near sleeping areas and on each level) is what ensures the alarm activates early enough to protect your household.
