Wow. Very good you caught that. What kind of furnace is it? Fuel oil? To all of you who burn something (anything) to heat your home: own at least one CO detector. Even if you have an external gas heat pump, get one -- you never know what's leaking into your circulated air. As someone who grew up in a house heated by a wood stove, I tend to be a bit paranoid, and paranoid is good.
