Protecting our customers health and safety while providing them with prompt courteous service.
1 - Severe cold weather can cause your sewer vent pipe going out through the roof to frost or
freeze over. This will not let air get into your sewer system. When you are flushing your stool, this
will pull the water out of other sewer traps in your house to get air to flush your stool. Example your
tub trap, lavatory trap, kitchen sink trap. Now you have a trap with no water in it, which will allow
sewer gas to enter your home. For a temporary fix until the weather warms and thaws frozen vent
pipes after each flush of your stool go around to all of your taps and add a little water to each one
to make sure that they have water in them. To correctly fix the problem have your plumber
increase the size of your vent pipe leaving your roof in the spring.
2 - If ice and snow cover over your gas regulator it can block the air opening on the bottom of
your gas regulator. At that time three things could happen. One the regulator could stop all flow
of gas to your furnace or gas appliance. Two it could increase or decrease the gas pressure
which are both dangerous. Three the diaphragm inside the gas regulator could become
damaged. This is just another reason to have your furnace inspected and gas pressures checked
at the beginning of each heating season or if you are experiencing problems with your furnace.
3 - All carbon monoxide detectors or c.o. monitors have an electro chemical sensor and all
sensors will stop working in a two to five year period depending on the brand and quality of the
sensor. There is only one or two brands of detectors on the market that will alarm and tell you
when the sensor has stopped working. SO THINK ABOUT THIS!!! If you have a c.o. detector
hanging on the wall in your home that is more than two years old, how do you know if it is working
and protecting you. Is the site of it just lulling you into a false sense of security when it really is
not doing you any good at all, and maybe very detrimental to you because of the false sence of
security. When you push the test button, the only thing you are testing is if the batteries are any
good.
Most all of the c.o. alarms on the market today are just that ALARMS - Not MONITORS. These
alarms were manufactured to OSHA and UL standards but those standards will not protect all
people. Their standards are that they do not have to alarm unitl the c.o. level in your house
reaches a level of 70 ppm for 8 hours. Researchers and physicians at many universities
including the University of Iowa have stated that at that level you have already killed brain cells
and they will not regenerate.
For this reason George Kerr designed and manufactured a carbon monoxide health monitor that
has a digital indicator that records and displays c.o. levels in your home starting at 10 ppm. Initial
audible alarm starts at 10 ppm .
Warning Levels & Cycles:
Updated Every 5 Seconds
0 - 9 PPM ... No Warning
10 & Up ... Constant Audible and Visual Warnings
25 - 34 PPM ... 2 Beeps every 20 seconds
35 - 49 PPM ... 2 Beeps every 10 seconds
50 - 69 PPM ... 2 Beeps every 6 seconds
70 - HI PPM ... 4 Beeps every 6 seconds
C.O. Experts Health Monitor will also alarm and show a display when in approximately five years
when the c.o. sensor has stopped working. No other c.o. monitor on the market will do this.
The C.O. Experts Health Monitor alarm is only sold to licensed heating contractors. You can
purchase this monitor through us.
