Carbon monoxide (CO), known as the "silent killer" due to its odorless, colorless, and tasteless nature, poses a significant threat to home safety, stemming from improperly maintained fuel-burning appliances like furnaces, gas stoves, and fireplaces. Recognizing signs of a carbon monoxide leak is vital for carbon monoxide safety and preventing carbon monoxide poisoning. Key indicators include flu-like CO poisoning symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and nausea that improve away from home, or similar symptoms in pets. Visible signs on appliances, like a yellow or flickering flame instead of a steady blue one, or excessive condensation on windows near fuel-burning units, also warrant immediate attention. Unusual burning odors, even if CO itself is odorless, or stale indoor air can signal incomplete combustion and poor ventilation. The most reliable defense against this invisible threat is a properly functioning and regularly tested carbon monoxide detector, which should be installed on every level of the home and replaced every 5-7 years, complementing annual HVAC maintenance and professional appliance inspections to prevent dangerous CO buildup.

Steel T Home Services offers 24/7 emergency HVAC, heating, air conditioning, air quality, electrical, and plumbing services. Investing in a humidifier provides numerous benefits, especially in dry climates like Colorado, improving health by preventing dry skin, easing respiratory issues, and potentially reducing illness. It also protects homes by preventing damage to wood and furnishings, enhances indoor air quality when paired with HVAC systems, can lower heating bills by making humid air feel warmer, and benefits houseplants and wooden instruments. Different types include evaporative, ultrasonic, steam vaporizers, and whole-house humidifiers. Signs of needing a humidifier include static, nosebleeds, peeling paint, and a hygrometer reading below 30%. A humidifier is a simple upgrade for better comfort, health, and energy efficiency, and Steel T Home Services offers whole-house installation.

GPS Air, utilizing innovative Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization (NPBI) technology developed by Global Plasma Solutions, represents an advanced approach to indoor air quality by actively releasing charged ions that neutralize airborne contaminants such as viruses, bacteria, mold spores, allergens, and VOCs, unlike passive filtration systems. This multi-step process generates bipolar ions that break down pollutants at a molecular level and cause smaller particles to clump for easier capture by HVAC filters, simultaneously reducing odors and VOCs without producing harmful ozone, leading to improved indoor air quality, enhanced HVAC efficiency, and potential energy savings across residential, commercial, healthcare, and educational settings. Compared to HEPA filters, UV light purifiers, and ozone generators, GPS Air offers a safer and more comprehensive solution by actively purifying the air and enhancing existing HVAC systems rather than solely relying on filtration or potentially harmful ozone production.
