Co builds up in the blood , minimal exposure builds up over many days

have cheap hydro power, gas heat is 50% cheaper than electric.


I hear you. The best I could do was to stop the furnace from being used. The
first time it was worked on, the gasket between the burner
motor/pump/igniter assembly and the front of the furnace was destroyed. The
burner motor/pump/igniter assembly was installed without the gasket. The
house filled up with fumes. Can't say for sure that the fumes were due to
the missing gasket, I just knew one should be there. I complained and
instead of installing a gasket, chamber lining was used. I questioned that
and now the furnace is not going to used and the space heater is. I am
unable to make these people understand that furnaces SHOULD NOT be modified
in any way. If a new gasket is to be used, two are going to installed
because if one is good, two is even better. Never mind that the furnace will
not be in compliance because of modification.

I know this from my electrical engineering background. I have taken many
machines
through UL, CSA, ETL, FCC, CE, etc... . This included evaluation, testing,
researching the parts, manufacturing and assembly documentation, and writing
a report for the institution that was going to supply the appropriate label.

We go through this process to make machines safe for consumers.
