The gas boiler must be supplied with the air needed for combustion and exit the waste gas, if the ventilation chamber is covered with cloth or vinyl, the air flow and exhaust is not smooth, the risk of carbon monoxide entering the room increases.
Open the ventilator and check the connector.
Before turning on the boiler for a long time, check with your eyes if the exhaust boiler is properly connected to the boiler and the wall, falls or breaks, and there is no place to break. Even if there are holes or foreign substances in the exhaust boiler or noise, do not keep turning on the boiler and have a professional check.
If the boiler feels noise, vibration, smell or overheating during operation, stop using and lock the gas valve and ask the manufacturer or gas supplier to inspect it. Do not dismantle or repair the exhaust boiler directly, and it is recommended that the gas boiler be checked at least once a year by the gas supplier or manufacturer.
Check the alarm operation and installation.
Carbon monoxide has no colour or smell, making it difficult to detect leakage. If an alarm is installed, check the power and display status, and check the test buttons and batteries according to product description. The alarm should be installed in a location that can detect gas leakage, such as around the gas boiler.
The obligation to install a carbon monoxide warning is not a way to be applied to all common households. The safety regulations of the gas boiler manufacturing and import phase and the obligation to install certain facilities such as accommodation are specified separately in the law, so the applicable criteria should be determined according to the time of installation of the boiler in the house and the type of facility.
When a headache, dizziness or alarm appears, go out.
In the early stages of carbon monoxide addiction, headaches, dizziness, nausea can occur and can lead to vomiting, breathing difficulties, or reduced consciousness. If a number of people in the family or with them experience similar symptoms or an alarm sounds, stay in the room without looking for a cause and evacuate immediately.
After evacuation, call 119, and the person with symptoms will be guided by emergency services and emergency services where there is fresh air. Emergency measures are needed, especially in the case of awareness disturbance or uncomfortable breathing.
