Last night I started to feel nauseous and had a headache I just thought I was getting sick so sat down to rest. About an hour later my CO alarm at the top of my basement stairs went off. Not putting 2 and 2 together I thought maybe it was an error, and I cleared it and put it back about 10 minutes later it went off again but this time the one in my basement also started beeping. I shut the boiler down opened up the windows and called 911. The fire department responded and found high levels throughout the house even on the second floor. They were great and extremely helpful they stayed until the levels went down to an acceptable level. Of course, had to happen on a Saturday night so now I am trying to find a boiler repair person to come here on a Sunday as we are without heat or hot water and it's 19 degrees outside.
If I did not have CO detectors (I have 5) or they were not working I am convinced my wife, and I would be dead. Please make sure you have working reliable CO detectors in your home and even your business. I even bought a CO reader like the FD uses from Amazon last night it gives a digital level readout. I figure after they repair it, I can check to make sure there is no leak.
