Oil boilers can produce carbon monoxide if fuel does not burn completely. In high concentrations, this invisible and dangerous gas can affect the body’s ability to carry oxygen. While it is a serious risk, carbon monoxide poisoning can often be prevented through regular boiler servicing and the use of carbon monoxide alarms.
