Do you have one of these bad boys installed in your home? If you don’t, I BEG you to go to the hardware store TODAY and pick one (or two, or three) up.

As a guideline, Colorado law requires carbon monoxide detectors to be installed within 15 feet of all bedrooms upon the transfer of property. But even if you are not selling your home it’s imperative that you are protected.

Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. It steals oxygen from your red blood cells and can steal the life right out of you. You essentially drown without getting wet. The weather is getting colder and folks are turning on their gas-powered heating, so please don’t take a chance. This is serious stuff. If you read just one of my posts all year, this is the one I want you to really take to heart.
