Protecting Your Family from the Silent Threat

As we settle into another Colorado winter, homeowners across Dacono, Erie, and surrounding communities need to prioritize furnace safety. One of the most critical aspects of furnace maintenance is preventing and detecting carbon monoxide leaks, a potentially lethal hazard that demands immediate attention.

Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

Your furnace might be showing subtle hints of carbon monoxide issues through these tell-tale indicators:

• Yellow or flickering pilot light instead of steady blue
• Excessive condensation on windows
• Sooty or brown/black stains around furnace vents
• Family members experiencing unexplained headaches or nausea
• Reduced hot air flow from vents

Preventive Measures

Regular maintenance is crucial for preventing carbon monoxide leaks. Having your furnace inspected annually by qualified professionals ensures optimal performance and safety. At M and M Heating, AC, Plumbing & Electrical, we recommend scheduling these inspections before the peak heating season begins.

Emergency Response

If you suspect a carbon monoxide leak, immediately:

• Evacuate all occupants from the home
• Call emergency services
• Contact a professional HVAC technician

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Whether you’re in Firestone, Frederick, Johnstown, or Longmont, ensuring your furnace’s safety should be a top priority. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to warning signs can prevent dangerous situations and keep your family safe throughout the winter months.
