What type of explosive gas out of a furnace smells like urine? What causes this so it can be fixed?
Question:my dad has had his gas furnace blew up 7 times. the colder it gets and the longer it runs is when it usualy happens. the meter may not be working properly becuse of the rate of the increase and usage shown on bill. the meter is read over the phone lines. repair people from the gas co. cant explain or fix it as told by them and arent sure.
Answers:
It sounds like stinky carbon monoxide due to a cracked heat exchanger. Make sure the vent is clean.Call a heating company
If the gas co can't explain or fix it, get it replaced. You are dealing with a dangerous situation.
you have a time bomb sitting there, if you are having flame rollouts it should be checked by a competent service technician or replaced all together if its in poor condition, good luck and be safe!
