Our heater is working overtime right now. I can tell because it's very loud. Now, it's likely that this is because it is just darn cold outside and we have an old heater. Winter arrived in Boston today.
Of course, as a neurotic wife I think it's loud because the heater is broken and spewing carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas, and in large enough levels it can kill you. I keep wondering, does my head feel light? Is the room spinning? When the room starts to spin, will I have the mental faculty to get out of the house, or should I just leave now as a precaution? Do our carbon monoxide detectors work? (Yes, I just checked.) Phew. How did we ever survive without carbon monoxide detectors in our homes? Thank you CO detector inventor!
The EPA says you should have your gas heater checked before the start of every heating season to ensure it is running properly. We didnt do that this season, and since we just bought the house in June, I dont know if it has ever been done.
