Okay, I get this call that a customers gas range is putting out something like 1200ppm.
I get to the customers house and check the unit out from top to bottom three times not finding any problems.
The person that let me in was not the home owner. I finally get a hold of the home owner and get some info.
The customers CO meter was in a hall closet since it had never been installed. They didn't know it even had a battery in it. The gas range had not been turned on the whole day that the meter went off.
I asked if they thought their car gave off CO when it was turned off? I asked about the fire department coming over. They said they turned on the oven and stuck their meter in the burner.
I got several calls on things like this. The best was the
electric built in oven with a gas leak.
If the fire department or the gas company come out they are going to red tag something and make someone else take the liability for giving the all clear. The thing is the customers never find it strange that the fire department never has to check if to see if they are dead at some of these reported super high levels.
