A picture of carbon monoxide as it may appear in a typical home. Ahhh!

Just because you can’t see it, or smell it for that matter, doesn’t mean carbon monoxide isn’t there. If you have a clogged chimney or a faulty vent pipe, it can build up in your home, undetected. No matter what kind of heating fuel you use. And that’s dangerous. Carbon monoxide exposure can lead to coughing, headaches, dizziness, nausea, blurry vision and ringing in the ears. And in excessive amounts, it can be fatal. To safeguard your home, have your chimney and heating system The Center For Complementary Medicine checked regularly. And make all necessary repairs.
