While gas heat is an efficient way to heat your house, it can allow deadly carbon monoxide gas to enter your house. This past winter saw an increase in carbon monoxide poisonings.

Carbon Monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas produced by natural gas equipment. It can poison you by displacing the oxygen in your bloodstream. Victims don't realize they are being poisoned and therefore cannot help themselves. Once carbon monoxide exceeds 100 parts per million the area must be immediately evacuated otherwise injury or death may occur.

Carbon monoxide can attack you when you are asleep and when you can't call for help. To protect yourself and your family, it is recommended that a carbon monoxide detecting system be installed in residential homes.

The detecting system can detect carbon monoxide and contact the fire department for assistance when you can't. Consumers Security Group is an authorized First Alert Security Professional, and is highly experienced in installing these systems.

The system can be installed for low cost along with the monitoring fee. This system will monitor the air in your home 24 hours per day, and should carbon monoxide be detected, emergency response will be contacted. This small investment can literally save your life or your loved ones.
