Carbon Monoxide Detectors in Asheville, NC
Protect Your Family With Professional CO Alarm Installation
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible danger that puts your family at risk without warning. At Comfort Central, we install low-level carbon monoxide detectors in Asheville homes to help detect even trace amounts of CO before they become a threat. If your home has a furnace, water heater, fireplace, or any fuel-burning appliance — or an attached garage — you need a high-quality CO detector professionally installed and maintained.
What Is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that can be deadly if not detected in time. It forms during the incomplete combustion of fuels like natural gas, propane, oil, or wood — all commonly used in North Carolina homes. Because it can’t be seen or smelled, the only way to detect it is with a reliable carbon monoxide monitor.
Why Low-Level CO Detectors Matter
Most store-bought carbon monoxide alarms won't alert you until levels reach 70 parts per million (ppm) and stay there for 3.5 hours. However, the World Health Organization warns that exposure as low as 15–30 ppm can impact heart function and endanger vulnerable people like children and seniors.
Comfort Central installs professional-grade CO monitors such as the NSI 3000, which detect low levels of carbon monoxide much earlier than standard detectors. These alarms are designed to give you a critical early warning — long before symptoms begin or danger escalates.
Common Signs of Carbon Monoxide Exposure
Even with detectors in place, it’s important to recognize signs of CO poisoning:
- Headaches, dizziness, or nausea
- Weakness or confusion
- Chest pain or vomiting
- In severe cases: unconsciousness or death
If you notice any of these symptoms — especially multiple people in the home experiencing them — evacuate immediately and seek medical help.
