DENVER, Nov. 12, 2024 ~ As the winter season approaches, High 5 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric is urging residents in the greater Denver metropolitan area to be proactive during Carbon Monoxide Awareness Month. This family-owned and operated home service company wants to ensure that residents have peace of mind by taking necessary precautions against carbon monoxide poisoning.
Levi Torres, owner of High 5 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, emphasized the importance of getting heating systems checked before turning them on. "Precision adjustments and inspection on your furnace's combustion will reduce emissions like carbon monoxide," he said. "In addition, proactive measures can also reduce the risk of a system malfunction."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 400 Americans die from unintentional CO poisoning annually. Additionally, over 100,000 people visit the emergency room and over 14,000 are hospitalized due to CO exposure.

To help reduce the risk of high CO levels in homes, High 5 recommends a few easy steps. First and foremost, they advise installing carbon monoxide detectors on every floor of the home and near bedrooms. These detectors are crucial in detecting leaks quickly as CO is an odorless gas.
Proper ventilation is also essential in preventing CO buildup. Blocked vents can trap in the deadly gas, so it's important to ensure optimal airflow and ventilation in homes. Changing filters regularly can also help increase airflow and maintain proper ventilation.
High 5 also suggests scheduling a tune-up with a licensed and insured professional for heating systems. This not only helps spot potential leaks and dangers before they occur but also decreases emissions and increases energy efficiency.
"Taking simple steps can go a long way to help ensure safety from high levels of carbon monoxide in your house," Torres stated. "Be proactive so that you can have peace of mind when the holidays roll around and for the rest of the winter season."
