CARBON MONOXIDE TESTING

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic, odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas that can be found in your home.  According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, "about 50,000 people in the U.S. visit the emergency department each year due to accidental CO poisoning."  This poisonous gas could make its way into your home from your HVAC system. Examples of this include a poorly ventilated or improperly sealed furnace, or poorly sealed ducts in your garage introducing car exhaust fumes into your HVAC system. If left unchecked, CO could reach dangerous levels in your home. CO poisoning is entirely preventable. Protect yourself and your family by having your heating system checked. Zion Custom Air technicians utilize state of the art technology to detect specific levels of carbon monoxide in your home and identify its source. As a result, we can act to address and correct any and all equipment that is producing this harmful gas.
