Residential atmospheric gas-fired boilers

Published June 30, 2022 · Recall initiated: June 30, 2022

What's the hazard

The blocked vent temperature switch (BVTS) can malfunction, which can cause the release of gases, including carbon monoxide (CO), into consumers' homes, posing a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

What to do

Consumers should immediately contact Laars Heating Systems Company to arrange to have a certified technician install repairs at no cost to the consumer. Consumers who continue use of the boiler while awaiting repair should have working carbon monoxide alarms on every level of the home and outside of sleeping areas. The firm is contacting all known purchasers.
