I had an inspection with a gas furnace,water heater located in the closet of a laundry room. The closet door was ventilated for combustion air in to the laundry room. The laundry room has a gas dryer. The laundry room has combustion air ducting going outside for the gas dryer,furnace and water heater. The part I am concerned with is the laundry room leads into a bedroom. The door from the laundry room to the bedroom is solid. I know you can not have a furnace, water heater located within a bedroom, but what about a laundry room that leads into a bedroom with all these appliances?
Thanks for any help Steve McIntire, Inspector EEinspections.com |

The appliances are not in the bedroom.
There is makeup air. Did you determine BTU input of all appliances and compare it with the makeup air capacity? 1 in.² per 4000 BTUs per hour vertical, 1 in.² per 2000 BTUs per hour horizontal. Recommended a carbon monoxide detector in the bedroom. |
