What it is: A furnace near end of life or with a suspect heat exchanger.
Why it matters
A cracked heat exchanger can leak carbon monoxide; aged units fail in deep cold.
Why it's common in Bloomington
Minnesota heating demand makes furnace age and condition a top Bloomington concern.
Signs to watch for
- a unit over ~15–20 years
- rust/soot
- short-cycling
- CO alarms
What we check during the inspection
We note age, operation and visible heat-exchanger/venting condition; recommend HVAC evaluation when suspect.
How it's typically corrected
