FAQs About Furnace Safety
Can a furnace leak carbon monoxide?
Yes. Furnaces can leak carbon monoxide if the heat exchanger is cracked or if there’s a ventilation or combustion issue. Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, so you won’t detect it without proper testing. That’s why a furnace carbon monoxide test is crucial, especially if your furnace is 15 years or older.
Can a furnace leak carbon monoxide even when it’s turned off?
It’s rare, but possible. If your furnace shares a flue with other gas appliances (like a water heater), a damaged heat exchanger or blocked exhaust vent could allow carbon monoxide to backdraft into your home even when the furnace isn’t running. Our inspection includes checking for these kinds of safety risks.
How do I make sure my gas furnace is safe?
The best way to ensure your gas furnace is safe is by scheduling annual maintenance. If your furnace is 15+ years old, you should also schedule a furnace safety inspection with A-1 Guaranteed.
