    10 yr old bryant furnace doesn't always ignite smell gas
    I have had a couple people look at my furnace and can't afford to pay the Bryant team! I replaced blower motor 2 years ago, furnace seems to run great once on, but when it kicks on sometimes I smell gas before and after cycles! I had to replace the inducer cooling fan, 3 weeks ago, now the smell starts! Is it the ignitor or coudle it be the sensor needs replaced and/or cleaned! Single mom trying to make ends meet!

    Hello single mom. I understand the circumstances but when you say you smell gas I recommend getting a on site professional to look your system over. The smell of gas and the possible explosion or other undesirable effects can make it a possibility that you will not be a single mom anymore. Playing with furnace repairs is wonderful if you know what your are doing but if you do not the consequences are many times disastrous. Spending a few $$$ might save your life and the lives of your loved ones.
