The Invisible Danger in Your Sydney Home
You can’t see it. You can’t smell it. But inside your Sydney home, a silent, invisible killer could be building to deadly levels. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas produced whenever fuels like natural gas, LPG, or petrol burn. It is colourless, odourless, and tasteless, making it impossible to detect without professional equipment. Faulty, poorly maintained, or improperly ventilated gas appliances are a common source of CO leaks in households across our city. At Hero Plumbing, we treat this threat with the utmost seriousness. As licensed gas fitters, our mission is to protect your family through professional carbon monoxide testing, giving you the peace of mind that your home is safe from this hidden danger.
Could Your Family Be at Risk? Know the Symptoms
Carbon monoxide poisoning is often mistaken for other illnesses, leading to tragic consequences. Knowing the signs could save your life. Be urgently concerned if you or your family experience:
- Unexplained Flu-Like Symptoms: Headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue that seem to appear at home and improve when you leave the house.
- Confusion or Disorientation: Difficulty thinking clearly, shortness of breath, or weakness, especially in multiple family members at the same time.
- Pets Acting Strange: Animals are often more susceptible and may show symptoms first, become lethargic, or avoid certain rooms.
STOP – If anyone is experiencing severe symptoms like collapse or seizures, call 000 immediately and evacuate the property. Do not re-enter until it has been declared safe by professionals.
Common Sources of Carbon Monoxide in Sydney Homes
The danger often lies with the very appliances you rely on for comfort and convenience. In Sydney homes, common sources of carbon monoxide include:
Faulty Gas Heaters
This is the most common source. A blocked flue, cracked heat exchanger, or inadequate ventilation can cause CO to spill into your living space instead of being safely vented outside.
Gas Water Heaters
Older models or units installed in enclosed spaces like bathrooms or laundries are a significant risk if their ventilation is compromised.
Blocked Chimneys & Flues
Bird nests, leaves, or other debris can block the escape route for exhaust gases, forcing them back into your home.
Car Exhaust in Garages
Running a car in an attached garage, even for a short time, can allow dangerous levels of CO to seep into your living areas.
Portable Generators & Grills
Never use petrol-powered generators, barbecues, or camping stoves indoors, in garages, or in any enclosed area.
