CO at home

At home, properly serviced and maintained appliances have a low risk of CO poisoning. But, appliances that are faulty, badly installed or poorly maintained, may produce CO.

Avoid CO poisoning at home by:

  • Having chimneys and flues swept once a year.
  • Making sure that all fuel-burning appliances (for example, boilers, wood burners) are serviced once a year by  a properly qualified engineer
