Read this and save many lives,........JR

I just took a class on CO and combustion diagnostics and troubleshooting. I found the class very informative and controversial. Jim Davis, the teacher, is the best tuner I ever met. Not only can you learn to adjust the equipment to save lots of money in fuel bills but you can save many many lives. CO kills!!! It kills people every day!! Most cases are misdiagnosed and something other than CO is named as the killer. Babies can't take as high the levels of CO as adults. A lot of SIDS or crib death is misdiagnosed and actually CO caused alot of those deaths. Unless CO is suspected up front or the doctor does a autopsy, he can't find the CO. PROPER VENTING IS MOST IMPORTANT TO STOPPING CO. Learn from Jim how to do proper venting. Take the NCI class and save lives. you can find more info at www.nationalinstitute.com

definately opened my eyes too!

The level of ignorance and apathy regarding CO by trades people is truly frightening.

After I took that course I looked at EVERYTHING I did differently, and we test EVERY SINGLE HOME we enter.

I have also taken Building Science courses that explain how the laws of physics work in structures. Depressurization tests often identify problems that would otherwise go undetected. I would recommend that every professional heating contractor take these courses.

The health and safety of our customers should always be our primary concern. Making people warm is easy. Making sure they are safe requires constant vigilance.

We try to make this case to all of the people we meet. I try to get the customer to understand that for every change they make in their homes, there will be a side effect. New windows? They change things. Blown in insulation? It changes things. New exhaust fan? Change. Now the changes in how a structure works may not be great with just one of these home improvements, but the cumulative effect may be.
Here again, if you don't test you don't know.

There are many people and organizations out there that bring experience and knowledge to us, Jim D and Timmie M to name two. I guess it all comes down to how seriously we take what we do. Just where do you draw the line for what you are responsible to your customers for?
