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. by Kae Webster Charles and Mayme Wilkins, Herb and Marie Wilkins of Ashfield Township and Harry and Grace Wilkins of Chesley all went to Howard and Grace Carlow at Paisley recentLy for their annual Christmas get-together.
