Do Infrared Heaters need to be vented?

Do infrared heaters need venting? In this article, we’re going to have a quick check! Quick answer: No, you never need to vent an electric infrared heater.

Can Candles cause Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?

Quick answer: Yes, candles can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, but it’s highly unlikely. Candles produce very little carbon monoxide. That’s not enough to cause poisoning unless you light many candles in a small, unventilated space, which would increase carbon monoxide emissions. But that doesn’t mean lighting candles is 100% safe. Since carbon monoxide is undetectable by all five senses, it can be difficult to establish when the CO from candles is nearing dangerous levels. ...
