Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Carbon monoxide leaks are silent and can be life threatening. Installing a carbon monoxide alarm is a highly recommended measure to protect you and your loved ones.

• Carbon monoxide alarms are usually installed adjacent to sleeping areas or in rooms containing a gas appliance. 

• More than one may be required to offer full protection. 

• A carbon monoxide alarm should not be used as a substitute for a smoke alarm. 

While carbon monoxide alarms may provide an extra measure of warning, they should never be relied on as a substitute for regular inspection and maintenance of your natural gas appliances, venting and chimneys.

Our service engineers will be happy to install a carbon monoxide alarm during a gas boiler service or boiler repair job in your home.

Signs of a Carbon Monoxide leak

Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide poisoning can be similar to those caused by other illnesses such as a cold or flu. But if anyone in your house has any of the following symptoms when using a gas appliance, turn it off and go to your doctor: 

  • Unexplained headaches, chest pains or muscular weakness 
  • Sickness, diarrhoea or stomach pains 
  • Sudden dizziness when standing up 
  • General lethargy 

Stop using the appliance immediately and do not use it again until it has been checked by a Registered Gas Installer or a qualified Service Engineer.
