[QUOTE="kingfish, post: 3928521, member: 50496"] One thing that happens with gas furnaces is the heat exchanger goes through tens of thousands of expansion and contraction cycles over its lifetime. The metal can fatigue and a crack starts to develop. This allows carbon monoxide to escape into the house. People have died from just such occurrences, but it is rare. Just depends on the size of the rupture and how the furnace is housed. I recommend you get a couple of CO detectors and put one near the furnace and one in your bedroom. Even new furnaces can have a failure so its a good idea to have these just in case. [/QUOTE]
