I am renting a 1970s trailer, and my landlord says he replaced some parts of my furnace, but I'm still terrified to turn it on. How do I know if I am safe? I looked it up online and was told to check to see if animals live inside or anything, but I don't even know where to start looking! I have renters insurance, but I'm terrified of fires, and instead went out and purchased some electric heaters but I will not leave them on when I am not home, and I live in mountains in new york. The warmest its been is about 40, and everywhere says it should be at least 50 in my house so my pipes don't freeze!


Answer
Turn off all power to anything that sparks before trying to start it, and open the windows.

But think about getting a carbon monoxide and explosive gas detector http://www.amazon.com/Kidde-KN-COEG-3-Nighthawk-Monoxide-Explosive/dp/B0002EVNJ6/ref=sr_1_5?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1353445241&sr=1-5&keywords=gas+detector , that one just plugs into an outlet. It's a great idea to have one, more and more municipalities are requiring CO detectors, and why not get the additional benefit of testing for explosive gas?

Can you still get carbon monoxide poisoning if the boiler is switched off ?

Answer
you're good don't worry about it anything under 40,000 BTU's is considered safe to operate without venting, such as a ventless gas fireplace or gas stove.so even if your pilot stayed lit it wouldnt hurt anything.but you should really have a carbon monoxide detector and as long as those arent beeping you're good
