What are the Dangers Of Carbon Monoxide?
" Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that has no smell or taste. Breathing it can make you unwell, and it can kill if your are exposed to high levels.
Every year there are around 60 deaths from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning in England and Wales.
After carbon monoxide is breathed in, it enters your bloodstream and mixes with haemoglobin (the part of red blood cells that carry oxygen around your body) to form carboxyhaemoglobin. When this happens, the blood is no longer able to carry oxygen, and this lack of oxygen causes the body's cells and tissue to fail and die. "

It is strongly recommended that a good quality carbon monoxide alarm is installed in every room in which a gas appliance is fitted. However, it must be noted that having an alarm is not an alternative for regular servicing.
BuGas will fit you with a carbon monoxide alarm whilst we are in your home and you will only be charged for the price of the alarm itself (the installation cost will be free).
