Unit appears to beoperating properly from controls, there are areas which cannot be seen without specializedequipment and training. One such area is the combustion chamber / heat exchanger where cold airblows across the "fire box", becoming the hot air that circulates throughout your home. During thelife span of any furnace, this metal wall may develop a crack or a broken weld, allowing carbonmonoxide to circulate throughout the home.

In this home,these appliances are using indoor air for ventilation and combustion. Other than the door--there isno visible venting into the utility/furnace room. With the door closed--there may be a lack ofcombustion air resulting in hazardous Carbon Monoxide (CO) into the dwelling living areas.Recommend conditions are investigated further by licensed HVAC contractor.
