I'm really kinda worried about the OP now, having not heard from him/her since then...

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

Well, if it was really a leak the gas company will make you vacate the premises until it is fixed. This happened to my grandmother a few years back when her furnace started leaking CO 2. Her alarm went off too and they came out with a meter and lo and behold the levels were high and thats what they found, and she had her furnace replaced. But she had to leave the house for 3 days.

Worried about OP here, too. That is, if this is not a blatant Troll post. If so is the case, not so much.

But yeah, if it's not, hope he/she/it is alright.

I'd have thought the continental types would have moved on to something a bit more eco-friendly and a bit less explodey by now.

I don't know about Germany, Belgium, France, etc., but here in the Netherlands, a central heating system is almost by definition gas-fired: a gas boiler supplies warm water to radiators throughout the building. Might have something to do with our having the largest gas field in Europe right under our feet. Also, it's considered more "eco-friendly" than electric heating, because it's more efficient.

And I've never heard of anyone's boiler blowing up on them. Gas heating is so ubiquitous that we don't really think of it as dangerous (the same goes for living below sea level). The only real dangers are fire and carbon monoxide, each of which only occurs with very old and/or crappy installations.

Yeah, and my grandmothers was ancient :P which is why she had to have it replaced as opposed to repaired. But they went so far as to stick a red sticker on her door warning anyone not to enter until it was replaced and hooked up and verified safe.

OP has posted before, but very, very infrequently.

Don't be shocked if he doesn't say anything and just makes some random post out of the blue in a week or two.

Actually, this is his latest post.

That being 18 hours later, I'd say he survived the Carbon Monoxide.

Good to hear that, at least.

I don't want to be an ass... but really? Your first reaction to a carbon monoxide alarm going off was to post on the internet?

It took three pages for someone to echo what we were all thinking?

Remarkable restraint, tropers.
