November 1-7 is Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week.
It is invisible, odourless and deadly and can build up inside a home when fuel-burning appliances are not working properly.

After the Halloween fun, don't forget to turn your appliance and wall clocks back an hour before you head to bed. Boo to earlier darker evenings but the upside, we gain an extra hour of sleep! 🕑
Good time to also swap out batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.
