Re: Plastic was sucked into the furnace return

It's 33 degress outside, but I take it we should leave the heat off until we can get someone to look at (or my husband tries to repair it), right?

Yeah leave it off. The melting plastic will give off toxic fumes, you don't want to be breathing that!

Looks like the heat exchanger will have to be pulled out and melted plastic scraped off.

That's some really bad luck though. Most of the time plastic would just get caught up in the blower wheel and not make it into the exchanger, but if you're smelling plastic I'd say it did make it past the blower.
