Re-Issue of Safety Check On Residential Natural Gas And Propane Fired Natural Draft Boilers

The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) is concerned that some natural gas and propane burning natural gas draft boilers, equipped with a drafthood, have not been properly installed, operated or maintained. This may result in a carbon monoxide (CO) safety hazard in the home and may possibly cause injury up to and including death.

To address this situation during this heating season, TSSA is re-issuing Director's Order FS-072-06-R1, which requires all G1, G2 and G3 certification holders, performing service, maintenance and/or emergency response work, to perform a CO check in the boiler's flue. The gas technician will also be expected to visually examine the boiler and take action if there are signs of spillage or poor operation.
