Apicture of carbon monoxide as it may appear in a typical home.

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 checked regularly. And make all necessary repairs. You can also purchase a carbon-monoxide detector. Make sure it’s UL- or IAS-listed, and follow the manufacturer’s installation and operating instructions carefully. If you suspect you’ve been exposed to carbon monoxide, get outside to fresh air, then dial 911 if necessary. Then call us at 1.718.643.4050. KeySpan Energy Delivery provides emergency gas-safety service, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can’t see or smell carbon monoxide, but with KeySpan and a little careful planning, you’ll always breathe easy.
