If CO, oh for goodness sake, boilers exhaust the gases into the

That is a scary opinion.

Is your boiler exhaust inside the house? Only really old fires did
that.

If the CO alarm goes off, the answer might well be yes.
Things don't always work the way they should. We call that BROKEN.
Your advice turns broken into DEAD.

Your boiler cannot break that badly.

Maybe you're right...maybe. But, that's not the issue.
If the CO alarm goes off, GET THE HELL OUT anyway.


Why have an alarm or something that'll probably never happen, and you'll notice anyway by the smell.

And please think before you say CO is odourless....


It is odorless and people, sometimes entire families, die from
CO from a malfunctioning furnace, boiler, etc every year. Why
do you insist on making an ass of yourself?
