How to Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, having a minimum of one carbon monoxide detector on each floor of your home is a necessity.  Older heating systems such as boilers and furnaces, releases more carbon monoxide than newer and more efficient heating systems.
