There was an incredibly tragic accident in our community last year.

An elderly couple named Sue as well as Bob lived on the corner of our street for nearly 50 years as well as were friends with everyone around.

Both of us all saw ambulances at their home early in the morning one Wednesday as well as found out that their daughter found them unconscious in their bed. Apparently a gas water furnace was leaking carbon monoxide gas as well as it killed them in their sleep. Unfortunately, they were not using carbon monoxide detectors at the time. If they had, they would have survived the gas leak assuming the alarms were loud enough to wake them out of their sleep. I put at least some of the blame on their heating as well as cooling professionals. I can’t imagine installing a gas oil furnace for an elderly couple as well as not including one or two carbon monoxide detectors for free for their health as well as safety. And even if I was the cheapest lady on Earth, at least I would tell them to go out as well as buy them for themselves from a nearby hardware store. They’re almost the same price as a smoke detector, as well as you can even buy devices that do both so you don’t need separate detectors for fire as well as gas leaks. But they’re not just necessary for gas oil gas furnaces as well as gas powered gas furnaces prefer steam boilers, they’re essential for homes that have any gas appliances, even cook stoves as well as ranges. When I bought our first gas powered water heater, I bought 4 carbon monoxide detectors for our home as you can’t be too careful.
