Carbon Monoxide Testing

Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless, and deadly. Professional CO testing is not just a service — it is a necessity for every home with gas appliances.

The Silent Killer

Carbon monoxide has no colour, no smell, and no taste. You cannot detect it without proper equipment. Exposure above 35 ppm is toxic — 800 ppm can be fatal within 2–3 hours.

What is Carbon Monoxide?

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas produced when fuels such as natural gas, LPG, petrol, wood, or coal burn incompletely. Faulty or poorly maintained gas appliances are the most common household source.

Because CO has no colour, odour, or taste, victims are often unaware they are being poisoned. Early symptoms mimic the flu — making it dangerously easy to dismiss.

Professional testing with advanced detection equipment is the only reliable way to confirm your home is safe. DK Air uses innovative techniques and calibrated instruments to identify dangerous gas levels across your entire property.

Headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea
Moderate exposure (200–400 ppm)
Severe headaches, drowsiness, confusion, rapid heart rate
High exposure (400–800 ppm)
Life-threatening — convulsions, unconsciousness, death within hours
Extreme exposure (800+ ppm)
Fatal within 2–3 hours; immediate evacuation required
