Maintain that chimney
Annual chimney and furance inspections
can • help smoke out problems before
tragedy strikes.
A blocked chimney or faulty furnace can
cause serious — sometimes fatal — illness
if carbon monoxide gas spills into the
home, say fuel safety experts. Any ICar-
', bon monoxide produced in a furnace is nor-
mally expelled from a house through the
chimney.
"If you are a •homeowner, 'it's your
responsibility to see that your furnace and
chimney are properly maintained," says
Bob Clendining, director of Fuels Safety
for the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and
Commercial Relations (MCCR ). "Each
year several incidents occur from barbon
monoxide poisoning which might have
been avoided with yearly inspections and
maintenance of home heating systems."
A colorless, odorless by-product of com-
bustion, carbon monoxide can leak into
homes undetected, Clendining warns. The
most common symptoms of poisoning in-
clude dizziness, nausea, headaches and
weakness.
"Anyone who hasn't already had an in-
spection• done this fear would be well ad-
vised to call in a professional home heating
contractor now," says Clendining. "The
check should not be expensive and when
you consider there are lives at stake, it is
certainly worth the cost."
Carbon monoxide and other gases pro-
duced by combustion may also be released'
into the living area of a home if the
chinmey draft is insufficient, the director
notes. This can occur if the fireplace, kit-
chen fan or other air -exhausting appliance
is in' use while the furnace is running.
