Hi everyone,
Just want to take a quick poll of any of you who might be famaliar with this...
Im installing a furnace in my garage to help with these 2° days. The furnace is one of those in-wall units designed for apartment buildings and other small spaces. It does not have an enclosed burner, and my HVAC guy said that often in garages there is a minumum height from the garage floor that the burner must be to avoid incidents with things like gas fumes. He didn't know the required height, so I called our town's building inspector.
The building inspector (who Im fairly sure I woke up with my call - at 10:30am on a Wed) told me that it would have to be 4 feet from the floor. FOUR FEET?
I know local codes are going to be different from place to place, but Ive done a lot of searching on the interweb and every other code I can find says 18''. Anyone have any thoughts...?
