Answer
You may have carbon monoxide in your home. You can call the fire department and they will come out with a detector to measure the level. This same thing happened to my mother a few years ago when she bought and installed a carbon monoxide detector. She called the fire department and they determined that the gas stove was leaking gas.

Why didn't the carbon monoxide detector go off?

Q. We recently had our AC/heating unit replaced. The installer said the old one was leaking carbon monoxide. So why didn't the carbon monoxide detector go off? It was and still is working(the installer tested it).
The installer didn't try to sell us a new one.


Answer
The way gas furnaces work is the blower motor that circulates hot air through the house has a higher static pressure than the combustion blower moter that creates the fire making the heat exchanger get hot. When the heat exchanger goes bad or gets holes in it it can leak carbon monoxide but more likely it will lose pressure from the blower motor air forcing air into the heat exchanger and not into the house. This would cause a roll out event. This is where the flame from the furnace would travel in the wrong direction tripping a safety limit shutting down the furnace. The way furnaces are designed even if they leak carbon monoxide or have holes inb the heat exchanger they will still keep the levels in the house at safe limits.
