Please, Protect Your Family, Check For Abnormally High Levels Of Carbon Monoxide in your Renton Home.

As the weather turns cooler and home heating systems get fired, it's important to safeguard your home from carbon monoxide gas. Often called the "silent killer", the odorless and colorless gas accidentally poisons about 170 Americans each year. And tragically, last winter we lost a family in Kent.

The video above with Harry Smith from CBS News tells the story of 2 such deaths.

Throughout the 5-minute piece (and after the commercial), note the mother talking about headaches, fatigue and nausea. Because carbon monoxide poisoning shows similar symptoms to the flu, many people confuse the two -- sometimes with fatal consequences.

Experts and every good home inspector says to outfit each room in your home with a carbon monoxide monitor. The recommended monitor from the video is available at Amazon.com for $10 off. If you need more info or are interested in talking about buying or selling a Renton home give us a call. And MOST IMPORTANTLY please keep your family safe this winter.
