The use of space heaters, gas stoves, water heaters, wood and gas fireplaces, and gas furnaces can increase your risk of carbon monoxide exposure, which can lead to fatigue, headaches, dizziness, confusion, disorientation, vomiting, and other flu-like symptoms. Extended exposure can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning and even death.
Now if that doesn’t scare you into getting your home heating system inspected for restrictions or leaks, I don’t know what will.
A heating system inspection and tune-up will ensure that your gas furnace is working properly and efficiently. This will also ensure that small problems and leaks do not become big problems, resulting in costly repairs and potential carbon monoxide exposure.
