Chimney inspection of a brick fireplace

Carbon Monoxide Testing

Carbon monoxide testing checks whether a fireplace or heating appliance is spilling carbon monoxide into the house. It is a test of that appliance and its vent. It is not a medical test, and it is not a promise about the whole house.

The work

What is carbon monoxide testing?

Carbon monoxide is a gas you cannot see or smell. A blocked flue, a damaged liner, a bad heat exchanger, or a fireplace used with a poor draft can send it into a room. The test measures the air at the appliance while it runs and looks at the venting that should be carrying the exhaust out.

If anyone feels sick, dizzy, or has a headache, or if an alarm is sounding, get everyone outside and call emergency services before you call A1. Do not stay inside to troubleshoot.

Why it matters

Why this work matters

A passed test on one day does not mean a damaged flue is fine forever. If the liner is cracked or the chimney is blocked, the repair still has to happen. The test tells you whether gas is spilling now.

A wood fireplace that smokes into the room needs the draft and the flue looked at, not only a meter reading.
