Staying safe with a furnace
By letting your furnace have enough space, air can flow correctly and provide enough clearance to your furnace.
At times your natural gas furnace may have little airflow and could begin shutting down sooner than you would have expected.
The usual recommendation is that your system should be about 30 inches away from furnace walls on all of its sides. Sealing your furnace room or doing improvements in your basement is a great idea, but it can be dangerous if you don’t check the regulations first or the manufacturer’s instructions. If your furnace is left without enough ventilation room, its fumes could begin to leak into your home and bring deadly carbon monoxide and hazardous gases that can be very harmful to you and your family. Many general use items such as rags, papers, wood, filters, and clotheslines are combustible items and can cause a potential fire. Airflow ventilation isn’t a big problem for modern and proper PVC pipelines. By providing efficient piping to your france , you can completely avoid any fume buildup and hazardous gases from leaking in. Modern furnaces use one of their pipes as air intake and the other as an exhaust. It is always a good idea to update your basement, and be aware of your furnace when doing any changes near your furnace or its pipeline. Be sure to have a professional HVAC company check your furnace to provide maintenance and check to make sure you won’t be in danger of leaks or fires in the future.
