HVAC guys. Why is my furnace doing this??

[DSB OUTDOORS]

This thread actually brought back some fond, childhood memories for me. I grew up in a house where all we had was a fan forced, natural gas space heater. I remember coming inside on a cold day and standing in front of it to warm up. It was a 2000 square foot "ranch" home and you'd be surprised just how warm this one heater kept it.

I have an upgraded one of those for my backup heater. I love those things!

Yeah we had 2 of those in one house growing up. Same thing come in from the cold and huddle around it.

Yeah that heat exchanger and or the burners are plugged. DO NOT run it. Plugged = soot = carbon monoxide. With it being your rental I wouldn't dick with it. I would leave it to the land lords. Document document document. They(landlords) should've provided you with co detector per Megan's law, if you don't have one buy at least one with a digital read out. That exchanger and burners should be cleaned professionally. I recommend duct works, monster vac etc. I'd bet $5 after they clean the heat exchanger there's a crack. Cracked heat exchanger means new furnace. Pm me if you want my contact info for advice.

If you wanna get their attention call xcel energys gas emergency response line and tell em you smell gas. Once the guy gets there and sees that they will red tag that furnace in a heart beat.

Might consider sleeping in a tent to stay warmer tonight if you have one.

Looks like the heat exchanger is plugged up. Burner needs to be pulled and cleaned along with the heat exchanger. Landlord needs to get an HVAC there ASAP! You CAN NOT RUN IT LIKE THAT!!!!!

I like this one! Get some heat on the landlord from up above, a "fix it NOW or face the wrath" threat may urge him along.

My Grandfather had these heaters. Ahh the memories. Wish I could find a couple today.

Check out Goodwill and Salvation Army thrift stores. I scored a pair of electric space heaters that were like brand new, for $5.50 apiece. These things sell for like $50 each in stores. I use the hell out of them.
