TBT! It is always prudent to send a safety reminder year round about the potential dangers of carbon monoxide ⛔️
In the United States, carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning causes over 1,200 total deaths and more than 100,000 emergency department visits each year.
Hospitalizations: More than 14,000 people are hospitalized annually for CO-related complications.
Please ensure you have carbon monoxide detectors (not just smoke detectors; they make combo units) appropriately placed according to the manufacturer instructions near every single gas or propane appliance in your home. The safety of our customers is our utmost priority, and while we go to extreme measures to check connections, every safeguard is more than worth it. Don’t feel like a dummy if you think you smell gas, having it checked can save lives.
We have had longtime customers who accidentally bumped the k***s on their gas stove repeatedly, turning the gas on but not the flame, due to the kitchen layout…and miraculously they happened to have unrelated plumbing issues the same days this occurred (God, obviously) so we were able to walk in and smell it with fresh noses since they had been desensitized and didn’t detect the odor. We quickly aired out the home and identified the gas leak source before it had adverse effects on our customers, by the grace of God. They since purchased locks for the k***s to prevent this in the future.
Plumbing safety is a very underestimated but critical priority in every home, gas or not.
Hope everyone is having a blessed day! 🍁
