My recent Rheem replacement could be upflow or horizontal so...if it says so in the installation instructions it can...why do you ask?

Is it operating as it should? Remind them to change the filter regularly.

There are no installation instructions at the home.

Was there something in particular that made you concerned with the installation?

We get very few horizontal installations in this area. The furnace is not hung but is sitting on concrete blocks. It looked kind of strange with a PVC intake entering through what would be the bottom if mounted vertically.

Sounds fine...there were holes all around for combustion air entry on some I've seen...keep it up off the ground at least three inches...and, I must say, it looks like an exceptional installation from what I can see.
