have these signs, the heater may not be work-

heater serviced. Some people are more af-
fected by carbon monoxide than others. These
include pregnant women, people with heart or
lung disease or anemia, those under the influ-
ence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
Propane/LP Gas: Propane/LP gas is odor-

may be present even though no odor exists.
