Carbon monoxide poisoning kills 1,500 people each year – and another 10,000 a year seek medical attention for carbon monoxide poisoning. With seven out of eight homes containing some threat of carbon monoxide poisoning, integrating monitored carbon monoxide detectors into your home security system is a smart move.
Monitronics’ carbon monoxide detectors work around the clock—even when your security system isn’t armed. This ensures total protection from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Because it is impossible to see, taste or smell the toxic fumes, CO can kill you before you are aware it is in your home. At lower levels of exposure, this “silent intruder” causes mild effects that are often mistaken for the flu. These symptoms include headaches, dizziness, disorientation, nausea and fatigue.
How at Risk are You without a Carbon Monoxide Alarm System?
Both old and new homes alike contain potential sources of CO. While some older homes may be at risk due to malfunctioning appliances and faulty ventilation, new houses designed to be energy efficient may be at even greater risk.
Some potential sources of carbon monoxide poisoning:
- Gas/Oil Furnace
- Gas/Kerosene Heaters
- Gas Water Heater/Appliances
- Cigarette Smoke
- Wood/Gas Fireplace
- Clogged Chimney
- Car Garage
