What are the Dangers of an Older Furnace?

Have an Older Furnace?

A older furnace produces certain by-products, the character and composition of which depends on the efficiency of your furnace. A old furnace with leaks or cracks can be dangerous as it can leak carbon monoxide into your home. This gas is virtually undetectable because it doesn't’t smell and you can’t see it. A carbon monoxide leak can make you sick with flu-like symptoms (such as headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and fatigue) or, in severe cases, lead to death.

The dangers associated with dirty furnace filters

Changing out your furnace filter is very important. As the amount of airflow traveling over the heat exchanger begins to decline, the operating temperature for the heat exchanger will begin to increase. Heat exchangers are built to withstand a lot of heat, but they can crack if the heat becomes too much for them while exceeding the conditions for which they were designed. The head exchanger can expand as it becomes hotter, and then contract during the off cycle of the process. All of this expanding and contracting can cause cracks and warps in the metal of the heat exchanger, which can allow for combustion gases to mix themselves with the oxygen in your home.
