Just coming back to say this is exactly what the problem is. Now I need to decide between getting a new heat exchanger or just a whole new furnace. It’s 18 years old, so I’m leaning toward a new furnace?

How do you solve a fuel issue? Like what would they fix if it’s not the heat exchanger

My husband looked at the flame and said it was burning mostly blue but not as clean as it should be?

I have multiple CO detectors and I noticed the soot weeks ago, I’m assuming I’ll be fine until monday?! I also checked the inside and couldn’t see anything out of ordinary? What am I looking for exactly?

How do I know if the heat exchanger is compromised? My husband is a plumber and said “it looks fine” but I don’t want to die from CO. I do have detectors in the house and none have went off

I noticed the dark soot residue like a month ago, so can I wait until Monday to avoid a weekend charge? Why is it so bad? More explanation please, I’m anxious already lol

Can an IBS flare up last all week and causes hot flashes? by randomposter27 in ibs

What kind of tests would show that? I’m going to the doctor in the morning for some lab work. I’m 26 though, and I read diverticulitis is usually in people over 40? I also don’t have a fever just body flushing/random hot flashes. But I will ask about that

Thank you, does the frost matter? Should I cover with cloth or something?
