Exhaust Odor

your furnace is probably over-fired and consequentially the hx has been breached. time for a new furnace, installed by a competent installer who has performed a load calc to precisely determine what size of furnace is req'd.

When was last time you have smoke stock clean have you in any way block air make up to the area where furnace is located Dido

Dildo, please explain to rest of us how a dirty "smoke stock" will create odours in the hot air plenum...... I assume it is just as complicated as your advice about closing the return air on the second floor in order to cool it!

TO A MECHANIC IT is NOT NEEDED BE EXPLAIN Dido

The smoke stack was replaced just last year, and the air intake is clear. One of the technicians said that it's possible that it isn't getting enough air, but it is the same make and model of furnace that was in the house when we bought it, and we never had problems with it before.

I AM NOT TRYING TO BE A MEANIE TO YOU BUT FOR SIX TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO READ YOUR POST BUT HALF WAY THROUGH I FEEL LIKE I WAS DRINKING ELECTRIC WINE AGAIN AND HAVE TO START OVER AND OVER. WHO EVER SHOWED YOU HOW TO TYPE WAS BEING VERY MEAN TO YOU.

You mean CO, don't you? CO2 is what you breathe out. It's also what causes the bubbles in pop and beer. Once again, Dildo shows his stuff!

I have 2 CO detectors, one with a digital readout, and they have not once gone off. I don't smell the odor, my wife does, so it's hard for me to describe it. She tells me that it's more of a Kerosene odor than it is an exhaust odor, could it be the furnace is burning too rich? I have the numbers that were generated by the last smoke test, if that would help anyone with a diagnosis.
