Most Schools/Hotels ETC. have thier units serviced by the Janitors err Maintence guys and they ONLY call for service as a last resort or installation,to keep cost down..

Thanks Rudy.

Scary stuff. I'm not looking forward to being killed, but I'd at least like to see what's killing me.

Just for the heck of it, you should set up some examples of CO tests. Maybe check thier equipment (hopefully no leaks, but ya never know). Or maybe figure out a way to rig a candle up in a somewhat large box (non flamable box mind you), then you could show some "real time" CO readings.

Here's one for ya, Norm.

I was in Columbus, Oh this morning doing a seminar for Home Inspectors, turns out at about the same time there was a family being poisoned a couple miles down the road:

Just remind your group that CO poisoning is hands down the number one cause of accidental poisoning in the US, period.

If you want to collect a number of links to CO poisoning, go to Google and do a Google Alert - they will send you links to articles on CO poisoning. Even I am amazed at the number of links I get.....

Not the same story NormChris but good.

Thanks for the link frame. I am giving a speech before a group of home inspectors in two weeks and needed some fresh co news examples.

Gale said testing by the fire department determined high levels of carbon monoxide inside the pool area. He said it was believed to have been caused by a malfunctioning furnace.


Big law suit coming.
