Carbon Monoxide Safety Around Fuel-Burning Equipment

What homeowners should consider

Maintain alarms as required. If an alarm sounds or exposure is suspected, leave and contact emergency services; do not search for the source.

Conditions differ by home. Equipment age, fuel type, access, venting, drainage, electrical capacity, and local requirements can affect the right next step.

Plan a safe next step

Do not open, modify, or bypass safety controls. Gas, electrical, plumbing, drainage, and venting work must be completed by appropriately qualified professionals and follow the requirements that apply to the home and municipality.
