I was talking to an Heating as well as A/C serviceman who was a friend of my dad’s.
- I told him my pal and I had a gas heater that was getting older, as well as asked what the probability of our getting carbon monoxide in our condo was.
He looked at me like there was something wrong with me. He told me that in order to have carbon monoxide poison in the house, he had to have a cracked heat exchanger. As long as the heat exchanger was in wonderful condition, there was little likelihood of there being carbon monoxide. I asked him what had to happen for formaldehyde to get into the house. He told me the heat exchanger was where all the off gasses usually came from, however you could get formaldehyde as well as carbon monoxide from an oil heater, a coal heater, or any heating source under the right conditions. I asked him if he had ever seen someone with carbon monoxide poisoning. He told me he had seen one once, as well as then he turned his full attention on me. He asked why I had so several questions, as well as I asked him to follow me, then my neighbor’s door wasn’t totally shut, as well as he was kneeling in his chair. The Heating as well as A/C serviceman told me to call an ambulance as well as then the fire company. He went in as well as dragged the guy outside. His face was an weird shade of red, as well as the Heating as well as A/C serviceman told me that is what someone with carbon monoxide poisoning looks like. Luckily, our associate is okay, but he needed a current heater for the house.
