When I light a match in my bedroom, it goes out. But when I light it anywhere else in the house, it burns normally. Should I be concerned? Is there carbon monoxide in my room?!

Asked by Belinda over 7 years ago

could be you have a draft in the room or low oxygen levels secondary to increased CO levels. Is there any gas service in that room?
