All combustion equipment manufactured for heating have been tested and approved for use. This equipment comes with instructions that include measurements. The primary rules for this installation state that “only a qualified” installer place the system in place and that all directions MUST be followed.
These two criteria if followed would mark a big improvement over current conditions in the U.S. HVACR industry. Please take a closer look at where you live and if these rules are being addressed. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

NOTE: Camera is temporarily unable to transmit live images. A new camera from a distant, non-disruptive location is being set up.
A friend of mine notified me that the
pair of bald eagles has returned to their nest along the Mississippi River in
Davenport, Iowa. The Alcoa Company has their web cam up and running and viewing
of the nest is possible during daylight hours, Central Standard Time, US. The Alcoa
Eagle website gives a good history of the pair and the company’s involvement
with them. If you haven’t viewed this site through the hatching and growth of
the eaglets, I think you may find it to be quite a live sight to see when you
may have those periodic spare moments. This link will be posted on this site
for those people who may wish to capture the link and watch the cycle of life
of this nesting pair.The lowest U.L. 2034 & CSA 6.19 carbon monoxide alarm test point is:

What does this have to do with carbon monoxide safety?
It is just a live web cam, perhaps a distraction from the headlines of death and injury. Please become aware of the air you breathe. Measurement is education. Measure your air accurately when measuring carbon monoxide. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
