I opened the basement door and the co detector reads at 0.
The dealer guy is coming in 2 hours.

Thank you everyone for their help

Well I'm hoping you are warm and happy because your dealer came by and found the problem. Let us know what he found.

Well I would like to say thank you to everyone in this forum for helping me.
The dealer guy came and look at it and told me that it was the chimney. Long short story, I called the fire department and unpluged the chimey and now it is working good.
The chimney was dirty. Even though I just put new line on April. Well I guess I have to clean it twice a year.

Thank you again for your help

Sincerely
Francisco

Can you post some pics of your chimney and vent pipe arrangement? Only fly ash should be in the chimney and it should fall to a point where it can be cleaned out easily.
