Emergency Plumber Responds to Carbon Monoxide Warnings

The specialists at Emergency Plumber have responded to warnings from the fire service, following two incidents of carbon monoxide poisoning in homes in Wales.

(PRWEB UK) 3 April 2013

Both families were successfully treated, however the outcome could have been much more tragic and the fire service reiterated the importance of getting boilers checked. Carbon monoxide is so deadly because it is tasteless and odourless and can kill fast. Best known for their London emergency plumbers, the team at Emergency Plumber also offers Gas Safe Registered engineers throughout the country. A representative from the firm shares their thoughts on the matter.

We cannot stress enough the importance of getting home appliances such as boilers, as well as ovens and fridge freezers, checked at least once a year by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. These should also be the only people that install, maintain or fix your appliances too. However, this is not a substitute for ensuring your home has a working carbon monoxide alarm.

You can buy audible alarms from supermarkets and DIY stores for around 15. Remember to check yours is marked to EN 50291 and contains the British Standards kitemark, or another European approved organisations mark on it. It is also important to make yourself and your family familiar with the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
