an electric furnace runs off of 208/230 Volts while a typical gas furnace runs off of 120 also a gas furnace will have a valve for the gas relay where the gas enters the furnace.
Carbon will not escape with the furnace off and it will only choke you because you will be breathing it carbon not oxygen. So my advice is dont turn the furnace off
A furnace should cycle on and off after every 4 hours.

Yes they can. Furnace filters help to divert dust and keep your furnace and air conditioning coil clean. As long as it doesn't break, a furnace filter can be reused.
If this is happening you need to get your furnace serviced by a qualified engineer.
The furnace that is working properly should cycle on and off after every 3 - 4 hours.
