Why Carbon Monoxide Testing Matters

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas, due to which, it’s also known as a “silent killer.” When gas appliances like heaters aren’t functioning properly, they can emit CO, creating a dangerous threat inside your home that cannot be easily detected. 

That is why regular CO testing is very important for households with gas heating systems and other gas appliances. With our professional testing service, you can stay ahead of potential leaks and protect your family from harm. 

Our CO Testing Process for Gas Heaters

Our Carbon Monoxide safety inspection involves: 

1. We first thoroughly assess your gas heating system or gas appliance for any broken or worn-out parts

1. After the assessment, we use advanced equipment to detect CO leaks or unsafe emissions

1. Using the advanced equipment, we will identify any safety concerns, including ventilation or pressure issues

1. After the identification of issues, we will provide recommendations for repairs. If the system is broken beyond repair, we will provide a quote for replacement

1. Once the unit is repaired or replaced, we will test it again to ensure your home is completely safe
