Vent covers

I’ve been finding this on most houses with vinyl siding. The vent cover has louvers. These vents are to let fresh air into the garage. The same covers were installed over the vents for the gas fired water heater closet. The louvers would only open if there is positive pressure coming from the interior, they are useless for letting air into the space.

You know those vents in the garage are a local thing. I don’t see those here in Austin even on new homes but I did when I was in S.A. Wish we would require them here also. The louvers need to go though, I agree.

Yeah, SA requires 1 vent per car for the garage.
