For a long time I was feeling sort of under the weather and I had no idea why.
I had a headache, felt sluggish and had no energy.
What was the deal? I then started tracking when I felt bada. I noticed anytime I was in my house I had my symptoms. I then started fooling around and tried to come up with the reason. Someone wrote it could be poor indoor air quality. So I called my Terrel, TX heater repair business to do some ductwork cleaning. The guy cleaned the air ducts and then asked to check my furnace. He looked inside and found that I had a cracked heat exchanger. This part releases carbon monoxide when damaged. It is an odorless, poisonous, and tasteless gas that can lead to hospitalization if it isn’t caught in time. I didn’t even have a proper detector for it. Thank the lord I called that Terrell heater repairman. The guy immediately got to work and tried to find a low cost part to fix the furnace. Sadly a heat exchanger almost costs as much as an entire furnace. So I had to do a furnace replacement instead of just a Texas heater repair. I wasn’t happy about it but I am glad that I am no longer killing myself with the gas! My new furnace works great and I feel so much better. I now own a carbon monoxide detector and I invest in regular CO2 testing and furnace service. I don’t want to get caught unaware again. You can’t put a price tag on your health and wellbeing.
