North 40, I really don't think that carbon monoxide is going to be a problem for units installed in the basement. The exhaust can be vented outside if necessary.

As long a you mentioned gas furnaces being the main form of heating in the North, consider that the fuel cell unit can almost be thought of as a furnace that produces electricity. It produces the electric to run it's own blower to circulate the waste heat. When it is warm, the waste heat that is left after the hot water needs are met would be just dumped outside.

It is unwise to store propane in a basement for any purpose for those that would use that option. It is best to have the storage tank outside.
