Actually you do a CO2 test in the flue as well as oxygen. These 2 figures give you an operating efficiency. You would also test for CO in the flue to ensure it does not exceed 50 ppm. You would then do a final test of CO in the air, generally at the plenum and then at a few different locations through out the house. This is all old school stuff though and generally speaking if the furnace is 25 years or older it should be replaced as that is the life of a furnace.
