The Effects of Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause a wide range of immediate health issues. These include persistent headaches, dizziness, physical weakness, nausea, chest pains, and confusion. These symptoms often occur within hours of a carbon monoxide leak.
Inhaling CO gas can result in loss of consciousness and death. Long-term health risks for those who survive a toxic encounter include damaged heart muscles and respiratory problems. Thus, the risk of long-term injury or death is not something any homeowner should take lightly.
Signs You Have a Carbon Monoxide Leak
In addition to the health-related signs of a CO leak, these are physical manifestations every homeowner should watch for:
- The pilot light in your furnace or fuel-burning heating system frequently goes out.
- There’s soot buildup around your chimney vents.
- You notice brownish or yellowish stains around gas appliances.
- The pilot light flame in your heating system is yellow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is carbon monoxide always present in my home?
There are almost always trace quantities of CO in houses. Most often, these do not exceed 2 ppm and dissipate quickly. However, unresolved issues with your HVAC or other gas-burning systems can cause CO levels to rise.
Anytime the reading is between 4 and 8 ppm, it’s an issue that requires a prompt resolution.
Should I install CO detectors in my home?
Absolutely! These should be installed in your kitchen, furnace room, living room, and the hallways outside the bedrooms. These devices are calibrated to trip when levels rise into dangerous concentrations of 100 ppm or higher.
What should I do if I have a CO leak?
First, open the windows and doors, then evacuate the home. Once safely away, it’s advisable to contact your utility provider to shut the natural gas off and then contact F.H. Furr to request an emergency service to identify and repair the cause of the problem.
