If you’ve got a Rinnai i-Series Plus gas boiler keeping your place warm, you’ll want to pay attention to this one. The London Fire Department has been spreading the word about a recall that’s got safety officials pretty concerned.

Here’s the deal: Rinnai America has issued a recall for their i-Series Plus gas boilers because of a carbon monoxide poisoning hazard. Yeah, that’s as serious as it sounds. The problem is with the boiler door, which can apparently fail to seal properly and let carbon monoxide gases escape into your home.

Carbon monoxide is one of those invisible dangers you really don’t want to mess around with. It’s odourless, colourless, and can be deadly if you’re exposed to enough of it. The fact that these boilers might be leaking it into people’s homes is exactly why recalls like this exist.

The recall notice came from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission back on June 5th, and it’s been making its way through fire departments across North America, including right here in London. Our local fire department picked up the alert from Ottawa Fire Prevention and made sure to share it with residents.

If you think you might have one of these boilers, Rinnai is offering free repairs to fix the sealing issue. You can reach them at 800-621-9419 or check out their support page for recalls to get more information about the process.

The recall specifically targets the i-Series Plus models, so if you’re not sure what type of boiler you have, it’s worth taking a look at the model information. Better safe than sorry when it comes to carbon monoxide exposure.

Fire departments don’t usually go out of their way to repost recall notices unless they think it’s something residents need to know about. The fact that London Fire Department felt this was worth sharing suggests they’re taking the potential risk seriously.
