Carbon monoxide is not the issue that’s been checked several times and has not been detected at dangerous levels. The issue here is that the flu goes through the bedroom upstairs and every time the fan kicks on when I turn the heater on there is a strong smell of chlorine and ozone has been...

What space my apartment? Well there’s no weatherstripping around the front door and there’s definitely a breeze that comes in if that’s what you’re asking. I don’t know if they did a combustion analysis probably not but I’ll ask thank you for your reply

New pictures of heater/flue/fan. I got a good deal on a used 10 ft ladder so I could see better. Haven’t turned on or touched this heater for a while because of health hazard.

Is that a close up of my flue from the pics I posted? Yeah I see what you’re getting at.

Nope, no one checked for punctures or any leaks in the flue since it’s inside the enclosure.

They checked the flue on the roof but I didn’t see it. They say it’s fine

Everybody I really appreciate all this feedback. Are there any professionals out there who could shine some light on why this could be happening? We’ve discussed the painted flue. I have not been using the heater because I don’t want to put my lungs in any more danger. I have three space heaters...

EPA ground level ozone standard

Yes and I think it’s interesting that B A Morrison said “that wouldn’t make a difference “. It clearly has in the evidence of reduced odor and ozone readings.

.

So they cleaned out the flue enclosure yesterday I turned on the heat last night Did not see any Sparks from the fan but there was a reduction in the ozone detected in the bedroom up to .222 (yellow zone) the smell came on fast and then went away kind of quickly which is a first. this morning I...

The fan

Had a meeting with the owners today things went well. We believe that the source of the ozone might be coming from the fan on the exterior of the Modine heater. Tonight I’m going to turn on the heater and see if It sparks. Im really hoping this turns out to be the source of the problem and & an...
