What is Carbon Monoxide?

Carbon monoxide is a dangerous and sometimes deadly gas:
  • It is colourless and has no smell
  • It is a byproduct of the burning process in gas appliances.
  • With a properly flued heater or secure ventilation and fittings in any gas appliance, normally you won’t have to worry about carbon monoxide.
