make certain you have a good carbon monoxide detector

Yes, I've got one in master bedroom and one in the living room, both have PPM display. These are separate from my 2 smoke detectors.

Mine are wired into the alarm system so not only do I get notified but so does the monitoring station who will call 911 if their attempts to contact us fail.

I installed a carbon monoxide detector to safeguard against false claims of dangers like cracked heat exchangers. Great call on the detector—it’s a must for any home, especially when HVAC scams are common, as The DIY HVAC Guy points out. If you’re looking to avoid shady upsells, consider a ductless mini split air conditioning system. They’re efficient, don’t rely on traditional furnace setups, and can reduce the risk of issues like carbon monoxide leaks. Stay vigilant and keep that detector batteries fresh!
