Any furnace could be a safety hazard. This is especially true for furnaces that are over 15 years old. The internal heat exchanger (the core of the furnace) in older systems can crack over time which allows carbon monoxide to seep into the heating air. Since 2010, carbon monoxide detectors are required on all floor levels of homes. Safety controls within the furnace are crucial for safe operation, the external control or thermostat can directly impact your winter gas bill. Air distribution ducting can be dirty, leaking, or become disconnected. Old leaking ducts on average leak 34% of the air into an unheated wall, ceiling, or crawlspace.
