The average useful life of a device (electronic sensor) is about 5 years. This time is strictly dependent on the environmental conditions in which the device worked, the date of production, the number of alarm activations, etc.) It is recommended to regularly replace worn-out models with new ones.
In order to minimize the risk of carbon monoxide CO, qualified specialists should be regularly (at least once a year) checked by qualified specialists to check the heating system, ventilation system, chimneys and exhaust gases from fuel-powered devices. Any heating equipment should always be installed according to the manufacturer's recommendations and adhere to local building regulations. All devices should be installed and inspected by specialists after installation. The connections of the pipes supplying fuel or exhaust gases shall be regularly inspected for any leaks, cracks, traces of rust, etc. You should also pay attention to the color of the flame on the burners (yellow or orange may be a symptom of incomplete fuel burning). It is absolutely necessary to familiarize all household members with the alarm devices used in the installation.
SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING (CO)
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas devoid of smell and color. It arises as a result of not fully burning fuels and is extremely dangerous for all living organisms. In case of exposure to carbon monoxide and the occurrence of symptoms of poisoning, it is imperative that you see a doctor as soon as possible.
- Mild exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as "flu-like" symptoms ).
- Average exposure: Severe headaches (throbbing), drowsiness, dullness.
- Extreme exposure: Loss of consciousness, convulsions, heart failure, death.
