Combustion Air in Garage

[Harry V. McBride, III]

Alright, here is the question. How many of you report whether or not combustion air for a forced air gas furnace or for a gas water heater is present in a garage?

[Harry V. McBride, III]

Okay guys this is not a difficult poll here. A little participation would be nice.

[Bruce M. Graham, III]

How big is the unit and how big is the garage?

[Linda J. Foster]

Give location. CYA

[Jeffrey R. Pope]

There's nothing that prohibits drawing combustion air from a garage. Many furnaces and water heaters are located in garages, so what are you really asking?

[cbottger]

I always list the SOURCE of combustion air for all gas fired furnaces and gas water heaters in every report I write.

Ditto. (Does that make me a Dittohead?)

What is the problem?

[Patrick Bolliger]

Natural draft Gas burning appliances are NOT allowed installed in garages in the city of Chicago.

BUT
A sealed burner Cat 4, "properly installed appliances" can be used to heat a garage.

And another thing:

Smoking cows
or pyromaniac Cows with lighters or matches are strictly forbidden in garages and barns!!
