Today the furnace was emitting a bad gas odor. I called the gas company to check and they said our furnace was emitting CO at 10,000 ppm, instead of below 20, which is normal. Scary. Some problem with the heat exchange. Now need a new furnace.
@joe Ironically had just had the chimneys swept so we could use the fireplaces in a furnace emergency, but then the chimney sweep said we should fill in the ash dump bc it is no longer up to code. D, but then he said not to use it for 7 days. @blumenkraft
@tellingtales Good call. I didn’t have any CO detectors till last year. 😬 Didn’t grow up with them. Now have appropriate fire and CO coverage and attic fire ladder. Required more of both detectors than I thought before looking into it. @blumenkraft@joe
