Just had a new high-efficency furnace installed in this pit. Looking around after work yesterday, noticed that the 2 vent pipes that come through the outside wall behind the A/C compressor are just naked PVC pipes, one sticking out about a foot, and the other about 18 inches, mebbe a foot apart. 2 questions:
- Are they supposed to be this close together? Seems like the intake would suck up some of the outflow. I know this is just combustion air, but still...
- If I was a bird or rodent, on a cold wet day, those pipes would look pretty cozy. Aren't these supposed to have screens/rain caps on them?
I'm supposed to drop off the final check and pick up my key after work Monday. When I call up and holler at them first thing in the morning, what should I be saying is the proper technique? (I think the install crew had dates Friday night, and in the rush to pack up, just forgot to install the things.)
