Bad smell coming from boiler??


Recommended Posts

first what you need to do is ring british gas emergency who come out straight away, secondly ventilate the room the smell may be carbon monoxide, so dont fall asleep but keep air circulating, if your boiler is ten tears old or older it should be serviced every year

 

If you look on BG site the number it gives you for leaks or CO2 is the National Grid number.

Carbon Monoxide is odourless so I shouldn't have thought so.

you cannot smell or see carbon monoxide. there is no way a human can detect it. only a carbon monoxide detector.

hi just lookin for some advice, somewhere i work has a boiler in a little room that has concrete floors, its where we keep our cleaning stuff but for the last few weeks there is a really horrible smell coming from the boiler we think, we have cleared the room out to make sure there is nothing dead in there and we can only put it down to the boiler, it seems worse when the boiler is on, could anyone shed any light on this as to what you think it could be, it doesnt smell of rotten eggs it like a fusty/rotten smell, iv also taken the front off the boiler to make sure nothing is inside it and it kind of smells like copper too.

 

Has anyone been sacked lately? Perhaps a leaving present has been left hidden around the boiler like a kipper. Or perhaps you have a practical joker at work, just a thought lol.
