Given the recent cold and snowy weather across the country, and potentially weeks of more winter on the way – this is a good time to remind your readers about the dangers of explosive gas and how to prevent potentially deadly accidents that can result.

What are explosive gases?
• Natural gas
• Methane
• Propane
• Carbon Monoxide

Where do these gases come from?
• Most of these gases come from gas appliances and heating sources like water heaters and furnaces in the home.
• One of the primary sources is a gas furnace, which, according to Consumer Reports is in majority of new construction homes.

What tools can help?
• The GCO1CN combination gas and carbon monoxide detector by First Alert is available for $54.99 at local hardware stores and national retailers. It can detect explosive gases like natural gas, methane, propane and invisible, odorless gases like carbon monoxide. The GC01CN is an inexpensive tool that helps guard against accidents that unfortunately happen every year.
• In addition to a detector, it’s important to have appliances inspected periodically by a professional to look for malfunctioning parts and/or leaks.
