HELP ME!

Nov 15, 2015 12 Replies

I just bought a house and the furnace and hot water heater is in the middle of the floor with a brick vent connected to them both. Can I move the both to a corner and knock down the brick vent. PLEASE HELP ME!!!


Great subject line...so informative.

Sure, but you have to move the vent too. Just cut a big slot and slide it over.

Yes.

How do you plan on venting the furnace and water heater if you tear out the brick chimney?

For a 10 or 20 thousand dollars you can rip the house apart, move some walls, rip down the chimney and build a new one.

That brick vent is called a "CHIMNEY".

My thoughts exactly.

Did you figure for the closed interesection at seventh street? Better figure half hour.

replace furnace and water heater with direct vent ones. the higher efficency will save you big operating bucks, if you need a new roof, no chimney to repair no flashing to mess with, no chance of future leaks
