🚨 Carbon Monoxide Detectors Could Save Your Life 🚨
Carbon monoxide (CO) is called the silent killer for a reason — you can’t see it, smell it, or taste it. But it can build up quickly from furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, generators, or even a vehicle running in the garage.
As we head through heating season here in the Wausau / Weston area, this is your reminder:
✅ Test your carbon monoxide detectors once a month
✅ Replace batteries at least once a year
✅ Make sure you have at least one detector with a digital display
✅ Replace units every 5–10 years (check the manufacture date)
💡 Pro Tip: The cheaper plug-in or battery-only units often don’t alarm until CO levels are already high. I always recommend having at least one detector with a digital readout so you can see low-level CO before it becomes dangerous.
If you’re not sure where yours should be located or if they’re outdated, I’m happy to point you in the right direction.
Safety isn’t optional. Protect your family.
