In reply to Chimney v. direct vent gas by Jack White on June 10th, 1999 10:16 AM [Go to top of thread]

I know this is kind of am old subject about direct vent but I have some information about Direct Vent that would make people think before they install it. I am building a new home and my builder want to install a Direct Vent heating system and I told him NO!

My reasons are this,

1-It's going into a basement and the vent will not be high enough to clear a good snow storm.

2-High winds blowing towards the vent could cause the gasses to be blown back into the house.

3-If it's not properly located gasses could come back into the house from a vent in the overhang.
