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.

Of course it can. There are deaths here in the news every winter
where people died from CO from a home boiler, furnace, etc
malfunctioning. Geez, you must not pay attention to the news much,
because I'm sure it's not a US only problem.

CO gives you a headache. You'd notice.

Not if you're asleep.


This CO leak starts suddenly does it? And you have the boiler in your bedroom?

And plenty of people have noticed they have a
headache, don't feel right, so they figure they're getting cold or the flue,
go to sleep early, and then never wake up.


And they fail to smell it?!

I have a CO detector in my house. It's been code here for about 15 years
now.


What is it with Americans and "code"? Why do you all follow instructions like pathetic little robots?

UK has no building codes? I see. Now run along and go **** yourself.
Idiot!


They're called something less childish than "code", and nobody adheres to them.
