I have an air conditioner built in the window above a heater and I need to put a blanket on it in the winter so I dont have to take the air conditioner down. The heater is below it and it blows heat. Would it be a fire hazard for the blanket to sit on top of the heater throughout the season? Its not flammable that will catch on fire just because its on a heater, is it?
The carbon monoxide seems to be coming from the gas fireplace since carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete burning(combustion) of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels.If you smoke a couple of cigarettes, or someone had been smoking a cigar in the last hour, you could hit 11ppm CO in your home. Cigarette smokers exhale between 4 and 9 ppm CO all the time. And, if you're in a city, it's possible that the background CO rises to that level during the day. The mechanic's meter might hit 12-15 ppm standing in the middle of your back yard! Besides, 11-12ppm CO may be ambient conditions and nothing to really worry about. It could also be left over output from cooking or some other activity. To make it even more complicated, the cheap CO meters and many residential CO detectors are cross-sensitive to other gasses, like methane, butane, alcohol, aerosols, etc. I've seen Pam cooking spray put a CO detector into alarm. Besides, if you had been cooking, using the oven, heating water on the stove, or had a door or window open that could cause your flue(any duct or passage for air, gas, or the like) to down draft, you might see 5-20ppm in the house for a period of time. An oven will produce anywhere from 20 to 600 ppm when operating. Most run in the 30-100ppm range. You should still check with the local firedepartment or call the company that made The detector your using.
Have you talked to your parents about this? She must be feeling insecure about something?Is she being bullied at school? Has she had a medical checkup for her bed wetting?You and your parents need to get some help as this cannot go on for either of you.
