Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless gas that when inhaled prevents the blood from carrying oxygen and prevents the tissues from using oxygen effectively.

Small amounts are not usually harmful, but poisoning occurs if levels of carbon monoxide in the blood become too high. Carbon monoxide disappears from the blood after several hours.

Smoke from fires commonly contains carbon monoxide, particularly when combustion of fuels is incomplete.

If improperly vented, automobiles, furnaces, hot water heaters, gas heaters, kerosene heaters, and stoves (including wood stoves and stoves with charcoal briquettes) can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Inhaling tobacco smoke produces carbon monoxide in the blood, but usually not enough to result in symptoms of poisoning.

Prevention and Treatment

To prevent poisoning indoor sources of combustion such as gas space heaters and wood stoves require proper installation and ventilation.

If such ventilation is impractical, an open window can limit carbon monoxide accumulation by allowing it to escape from the building.

Exhaust pipes attached to furnaces and other heating appliances need periodic inspections for cracks and leaks.

Chemical detectors are available for the home that can sense carbon monoxide in the air and sound alarms when it is present.

If carbon monoxide is suspected in a home, windows should be opened, and the home should be evacuated and evaluated for the source of the carbon monoxide.

Constant monitoring with such detectors can identify carbon monoxide before poisoning develops.

Like smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors are recommended for all homes.

For mild poisoning, fresh air may be all that is needed. To treat more severe poisoning, high concentrations of oxygen are given, usually through a face mask.

Oxygen hastens the disappearance of carbon monoxide from the blood and relieves symptoms. The value of high-pressure oxygen treatment (in a hyperbaric chamber) remains uncertain.

Always have a licensed or registered plumber install any gas appliance and supply you with a compliance certificate on completion.

Reasoning is that if you have a warranty issue within the warranty period, your warranty does not stand.

At Craig’s Gas & Plumbing, we stock more than a hundred new commonly installed gas appliances; so when an urgent job arises we can usually complete the installation process within 1-2 working days.

Our business is based out of Keilor, but we service all suburbs throughout Melbourne.

If you require installation of a new gas appliance, the existing one in your home or office will be removed at no extra charge.

Unlike other installers, with whom there may be hidden removal charges.

You can feel confident that all jobs carried out by Craig’s Gas & Plumbing are undertaken by registered Plumbers & Gas fitters, giving our clients extra peace of mind.

Reviews

” Fantastic job. Had a Brivis Ducted Heater installed to replace the existing unit. Brilliant service called on Monday and job completed on Tuesday. Thank you Stacie”

“Disappointed. Craig said the service includes removal of old stove. On the day, the installer did not want to pick up the old stove because it is filthy.”

“Extremely happy with price and service
Prompt and efficient work all round.

“Extremely fast & reliable service.
My gas hot water unit needed to be replaced so via a simple Google search I came across Craig’s Gas & Plumbing.
From the time I called to the completion of the job, the total turn around time was under 4 hours on the same day. Yes that’s right 4 HOURS. Fantastic service.
The new unit was neatly installed & my old unit was also removed for recycling.
Even the pricing was excellent.
5 Star service all the way.”
