Nice COverage, Great Advice. (Reply to this comment)
by akauffma
Excellent topic & coverage. Thank you for writing about this and doing it in detail. I'll be reading more articles on gas than I planned just because you've made the case that every home-dweller should have a baseline knowledge about the topic AND your approach is clear, explicit, and accessible.
An article like this would do well to appear in a local paper now and again.
Best,
Kathryn

I appreciate your comment. I was beginning to wonder if anyone had read it or if they simply don't believe me. I intend to do a follow up on this one. It is a serious issue and the authorities are not helping to make it better.
This seems to be one of those really hard issues to bring out in the open. Manufacturers promote them, governments promote them, fire departments promote them and no one seems to care that they are very, very limited, almost to the point of being useless.
Ralph Nader, where are you when we need you?

This opinion has so much useful information... (Reply to this comment)

...that it's not even funny.
I had no idea that CO detectors were so unreliable. It's a joke that some localities are now making them mandatory.
While, as you say, they may have saved a few lives, they may also have cost a few. Rather than having their appliances serviced by a competent technician, people may just assume that as long as the CO detector remains silent, everything is okay.
Thanks for these infomative articles.

The First Comment Is From The Writer (Reply to this comment)

I wish to apologize for a couple of spelling mistakes that slipped through. Apparently the system will not let me edit them out. If anyone knows a way to do this without having the whole work stuck in my drafts, I'd appreciate it. I keep getting error messages when I try to correct some of the spelling and grammar. So it's all out there in it's unedited form, warts and all. *L*
Second, I would like to tell people who may be interested, that I have worked in this industry for so many years I'm almost considered an old guy. However, I only became a true advocate for public awareness on these issues after two members of a small family died and two now suffer from brain damage. All because of "a faulty heater". The tragedy that decimated their young lives was and is 100% avoidable.
Is it a utopian idea that, one day, we may all be able to enjoy our homes, in comfort without fear of carbon monoxide poisoning us in our sleep?
I don't believe it is. I firmly believe that the more we know about the products we use, the safer we all are.
Again sorry for the mistakes in this piece that I have not been able to correct. The thrust of it is still correct.
Best Regards
The Gasman
