Question:

Is it safe to run a gas furnace if the blower fan is broken?

I think it is unsafe and I have been trying to find documentation to SHOW my landlord. A link to a site would be helpful. The gas furnace is not that old, it fires up and runs for less than a minute and the main blower does NOT come on. There is a fraction of air movement ( apparently the exhaust flu?) the weather has been mild, but a few days ago it just went on and off and on and off (repeatedly) . I live in a basement suite and I have found refs to BACKDRAFT and carbon monoxide warnings BUT none say specifically that not having the blower will cause any harm and my LANDLORD SAYS TO LEAVE IT ON BECAUSE AT LEAST ITS WARMING THE HOUSE A LITTLE. I bought a carbon monoxide detector in the mean time.LINKS to good sites would help allot thank you.

Answer:

she trusted you but its too weird
The elevator could go toward the heat. For example if there is a fire alarm in a twenty storey building and you get on the elevator at the 10th floor, a serious fire on the 5th floor could melt the elevator button there signaling the elevator to stop at the 5th floor (or someone may have pushed the button before taking the stairs). When you arrive at the 5th floor and the door automatically opens you could be engulfed in flames with no easy escape. It is always better to be safe than sorry and take the stairs.
yea dude u probably hit something if u hear people screaming u mite of hit a person. Just hope no one got your tag. ur screwed
