My carbon monoxide detectors kept going off in my house.
I started to get super frustrated with them.
I figured they must have been faulty. All the sudden, out of the red, I have CO2 coming out of my ears? I unclogged them and forgot about them for around a month. Then I noticed I had flu-like symptoms flaring up a lot. I would get headaches, feel nausea, and be tired. I started rewatching it and it came back as CO2 poisoning. What is going on? I had to dig deep to find out what was causing carbon monoxide in my home. Well I do have a gas furnace. If the heat exchanger on a gas furnace cracks, it releases an aromaless, tasteless, and scentless gas known as carbon monoxide. I had a Terrell, TX furnace service contractor come over instantly to assess the task. The guy noticed the issue instantaneously. I had a cracked heat exchanger. What sucks about that furnace service is how extravagant it is. It is about on par with a brand current heater. The guy absolutely suggested me to just make the upgrade. You start with a brand current system, however but a current system can be around three to six thousand. The most the heat exchanger would cost is three thousand. The cheapest was five hundred. Thankfully the guy then did a full assessment and figured it would be on a cheaper end. So I made the Texas service over the replacement. I am just thrilled I am not being poisoned anymore. That was the frightening part after all.
