posure in the home is of special concern. Consumers exposed to harmful levies of CO often show symptoms similar to flu-like illnesses, including dizziness, fatigue, headaches, irregular breathing and nausea. Exposure to continued high levels of carbon monoxide could be fatal. CPSC estimates that some 200 deaths occur each year from carbon monoxide associated with gas heating equipment.

Homeowners who have recently converted their heating system from oil to gas also were cautioned by CPSC to have the chimney inspected. After converting to gas, soot and debris which may have accumulated over the years on chimney walls may loosen and fall; if enough falls, it could block the exhaust and cause a buildup of dangerous levels of exhaust fumes in the house. If the heating contractor finds soot in the flue, a chimney sweep should be called to clean the chimney and flue each fall until no more soot is detected.

If you plan to convert from oil to gas heat, have the chimney inspected when the new furnace is installed, and annually thereafter.
