“In my experience, there is only one motivation, and that is desire. No reasons or principle contain it or stand against it.”

Off-season heating system replacements and service
Almost all hydrocarbon fueled furnaces, boilers, domestic water heaters, space heaters, cooking units and similar “heating” combustion systems can operate safely and efficiently and do not need to produce harmful amounts of CO. They are designed to have systems with fuel controls, air mixing designs, flame containment and safe combustion gas discharge criteria that are all measurements to be verified.
All of these systems should be tested with service frequency by trained and certified technicians to manufacturer specifications. New systems should all be thoroughly tested when installed to establish the inauguration baseline and to verify it is what it was claimed to be. It should be tested again at least once a year or more and always when servicing. Knowledgeable technicians utilize test instruments that have the ability to test, record and print off their individual measurement results. These tests should include carbon monoxide measurements as part of the combustion analysis.
If verification tests are not performed, guesswork must have guided the installation or service work. The consumer or any customer should not receive or have to pay for guesswork. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
