Heating season has started and furnaces are firing up all over the country. If you use natural gas or propane fuel you may want to make sure the furnace is not leaking CO (carbon monoxide). The most common way this happens is by a fracture or hole in the heat exchanger. However it can occur from unbalance in the air pressure on even a new installation. Make sure the negative pressure side of the furnace (return air side) is sealed properly. It can actually suck combustion gases into the air flow. Check that all penetrations into the return air side of the furnace cabinet are sealed (i.e; electrical, low voltage wires etc.)
Have an HVAC professional check for CO in the air flow and check gas pressure, proper combustion etc.
