Lo m m l B ol i nds ds s Deadly Gume 10 New nrones carbon monoxide (Continued from page 3) Some ventilation systems have automatic controls which turn the fans on when the humidiâ€" ty climbs above the selected level. New home buyers might want to ensure they receive this convenience by asking the builder to install automatic conâ€" trols. It is important that homeownâ€" ers locate the switches for ventilaâ€" tion and circulation fans. These switches are normally located near the thermostat. New homes have a switch in each bathroom and some homes have another supplemental fan and switch in the kitchen for additional ventilation. These switches control local moisture and odors from showering and cooking. Some bathroom fans are equipped with a timer to control humidity during a bath or shower. The ventilation system requires frequent maintenance to ensure its safe operation. Homeowners should establish a monthly maintenance and cleanâ€" ing schedule. Start by checking to see if the hoods over intake and exhaust openings outside the house are broken or blocked. Clean all grilles or filters. Replace or clean all inâ€"duct filters. Homeowners with a heat recovâ€" ery ventilator should clean or replace filters. Regularly scrub kitchen grease filters with hot, soapy water. Some exhaust fans need to be oiled and cleaned according to manufacturer‘s instructions. Always disconnect the power before cleaning fans. New homeowners may encounter a ventilation system that includes an open air inlet. Basically designed as a hole in the basement wall, this hole should never be blocked despite the possible occurrence of a draft. Instead, homeowners should ask their builder to install a damper. Homes containing a wood burning fireplace or wood stove may be required by law to have a carbon monoxide (CO) detector to detect dangerous levels of gas. Some ventilation systems are designed so that a CO detector is not needed. Check with your builderâ€"to determine if your home has the necessary requirements. High concentration levels of carbon monoxide can cause death. If your CO detector alarm sounds, call the fire department. Open up the doors and windows to get fresh air into the house and tum off your ventilation system, including all exhaust fans. Your ventilation is designed to protect your home against moisture damâ€" age and ensure your home has an adequate amount of fresh air.
