We have just installed a new Bryant forced air gas heating system in our new addition. It is placed in the ceiling. We also had some painting done in our new addition. I turned it on today and noticed some paint smell in a room that is connected to the heater but far from the addition. I believe paint has entered some of the ceiling vents and is now exhausting out of the system. My wife has mentioned she feels nauseous. I think her nausea could be due to the residual paint but can it also be due to the heater itself? Do these types of heaters require a break-in period to allow manufacturing residue to vent out of the system?
