How can you help ensure that carbon monoxide does not enter buildings?

To help ensure that carbon monoxide does not enter buildings, it is crucial to adjust burners properly and ensure that the venting system effectively removes all exhaust gases. Proper adjustment of burners plays a significant role in achieving complete combustion, which minimizes the production of carbon monoxide. When burners are adjusted to the manufacturer's specifications, they operate more efficiently and produce fewer harmful emissions.

Additionally, the venting system must be correctly installed and maintained to direct harmful gases safely outside. If the venting system is blocked, malfunctioning, or improperly designed, it can lead to the backflow of exhaust gases, including carbon monoxide, into the living space. Therefore, focusing on both the adjustment of the burners and the integrity of the venting system is essential for preventing carbon monoxide entry into buildings.

While ensuring burners are up to date, increasing airflow in the building, or using high-efficiency burners may contribute to better overall efficiency and air quality, they do not specifically address the critical need for proper adjustment and effective venting to prevent carbon monoxide exposure.
