This week is National Carbon Monoxide Week and as part of this and to raise awareness of the dangers of this deadly gas also known as the silent killer, Seddon Heating & Plumbing are giving away a disposable 90 day Carbon Monoxide detector to the first 20 people that email with the words Carbon Monoxide Awareness in the subject line. All e-mails need to contain contact details so that the detectors can be posted out.
Any appliance that burns gas is capable of producing CO and older appliances pose a much higher risk than modern ones. Each year, around 4000 people attending A&E are diagnosed with this - the most common poison in the UK. Of these 4000 people, around 230 will require hospital treatment and around 30-40 people in the country will die each year. You can help protect yourself from this by having regular service and maintenance work carried out on all gas appliances by a Gas Safe licensed business and by fitting an audio Carbon Monoxide alarm as a back-up to the servicing.
There is no catch at all - no purchase required. It really is very simple. Just send an e-mail enquiry through the link at the top of our Seddon Heating & Plumbing feature with "Carbon Monoxide Awareness" as the subject and your contact details in the main body of the e-mail and if your email is one of the first 20 received we will post out a detector free of charge.
