MHProNews has learned from cnjonline that residents in eastern New Mexico are being warned about improperly installed gas furnaces in manufactured homes that can emit carbon monoxide and possibly lead to an explosion. The Construction Industries and Manufactured Housing Division (CID/MHD) of the Regulation and Licensing Department of New Mexico said some are recent installs of Goodman furnaces, but some faulty ones go back to 2007.

Fifteen Goodman brand furnaces were discovered by the Liquid Petroleum Gas Bureau that were installed incorrectly and were using improper materials. The Bureau learned of over a dozen other furnaces that were posing life safety risks.

New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department Superintendent Mike Unthank said, “I strongly urge everyone in the affected area, who has recently had a Goodman furnace installed, to please call us. It is of the utmost importance that furnaces be properly installed and inspected; call us and we will ensure that your furnace is safe to use.”

The furnaces in question were placed from 2007 to 2015, and have been found in and around the towns of Tucumcari, House, Logan, Nara Visa and San Jon. ##
