Had a near miss today. My wife and oldest son got back home from camp before me, and the carbon monoxide detector was going off. She called the fire department and they came and cleared the place, but something was off with my furnace (which I still have to figure out). They were measuring 150 ppm which could have been fatal if we stayed at the house last night.
Lesson learned. Make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector and check your batteries, it could save your life.
Oh my goodness, thankfully you’re all ok and weren’t there! 🙏💜
thank goodness everyone is safe. take care!
🙏 Glad you and the fam are safe and sound!
Might be a crack in the heat exchanger: How old is the furnace?
It’s about 10 years old
That's abt the time when things might start going wrong!
😬 mine is nearing 40 and rocking like a champ! However, fresh ventilation and a carbon monoxide are a definite must!
Dang that's impressive
It is, but “they don’t make em like they used to” right? It’s an old high efficiency model and it works great in Mid-American winters. Being that I worked for an HVAC in high school, I service my condenser, air handler and furnace every year just to make sure drains are clear, dog hair/leaves/etc are clean off the fins and all wiring is good. Saved myself 10k in replacing it by replacing the motherboard. 💪
Glad to hear all are safe 🫂😭💜
I’m glad y’all are ok. Tis the season for an uptick in carbon monoxide poisonings because of heaters being turned on for the first time since last winter.
Dang, glad you all were prepared and okay. That stuff is scary and you'd otherwise never know.
Mine died last week. Just ordered another. Glad you all are okay!
