Gas Odor or Leak?

Gas Odor or Leak?

If you have a faulty heat exchanger you will definitely want to have a carbon monoxide detector within the home. I once had a faulty heat exchanger with my furnace and my carbon monoxide detector went crazy!! I was to bring my baby boy home the following day. Due to the dangerous conditions I had to delay him coming home for the day until we could get the furnace fixed. Of course this is a safety issue demanding immediate attention.
If the pilot is still on, some people maintained at the chance of an explosion is low because the pilot will burn off any gas that accumulates around the furnace. However, this is a risky assumption.

I recommend servicing immediately where leaks are detected with your nose. If you need instruments to detect leaks, they may or may not be significant.

Be safe in your rehabbing!!
