The Article Below was published today by Fox News. Even in South Florida where you would not think of this "Carbon Monoxide Problem" there were 5 teenagers killed celebrating a birthday.
Please recognize the signs, make yourself familiar with them all. Teach your children, parents check on your elderly neighbors-if we are vigilant we can minimize this needless tragedy!
May your new year be a safe and prosperous one.
I will work to bring more frequent information, attempt to clarify some of the false information that is out there about Heating and Air Conditioning, I believe that a well informed consumer is the best type of potential client.
There are many snake oil salesmen in this industry, I want to make sure that they are less likely to fool the consumer because when they do it casts a bad light on all of us.
Understand as a Business person Profit is not a dirty word-Stealing from a consumer, lieing to a consumer, not providing what the consumer needs at a fair price is wrong.

A spokesman with the Hialeah Fire Department said a hotel maid called 911 Monday after seeing people unconscious through a window at the Hotel Presidente near Miami International Airport.
The Miami Herald reports that the bodies of the teenagers -- Juchen Martial, 19, Evans Charles, 19, Jonas Antenor, 18, Peterson Nazon, 17, and Jean Pierre Ferdinand, 16 -- were found on or around their beds at approximately 2 p.m. Monday.
The friends, all from a small Haitian community in Miami, rented the motel room the day after Christmas to celebrate Martial's 19th birthday, according to the newspaper.
Police spokesman Carl Zogby said the teenagers' deaths were accidental.

"It seems like this is a tragic accident,'' Zogby told the newspaper.
A car used by the group, a red Kia Optima, was found running in a closed garage underneath the room. Friends say the car had needed a jump-start earlier and could have been left running to preserve the battery's charge. A door leading to a staircase up to the room had been left slightly open, and high levels of carbon monoxide were found inside.
Officials found no alcohol, drugs or suspicious items in the room. Bags of McDonald's -- some of the food uneaten -- were found in the room, according to the Herald.
Authorities say the incident is still under investigation. Zogby told the newspaper that police are examining the hotel's inspection and fire records to determine whether it was required to install carbon monoxide detectors.
