A couple of years ago a friend of mine who lives in a modern upscale
($$$) house was nearly killed by carbon monoxide leaking from gas
fired heating unit. Sometimes the risks of modern living are well
hidden. I think he now owns at least one CO detector of each type on
the market.

Your local Fire Department SHOULD be glad to stop by and check your
atmosphere. The device costs about $1300 and no fire department should
be without it!
