Hi,
I currently have an electric water heater that I can not wait to get rid of. I am thinking of converting back to natural gas. My issue is I want to get rid of the chimney that takes up a large corner of my kitchen, and the water heater would vent through with the furnace. I know there are regular water heaters and power vent water heaters. If I go with a regular water heater, do I still have to use the chimney, or can I punch a hole in the wall and vent it outside that way with chimney pipe. Or do I have to use the direct vent water heater if I want to get rid of the chimney and put the vent out the wall. The walls of my basement and first floor are block, so I will have my work cut out for me making the hole. I really want that damn chimney gone though.
Are there any codes that regulate vent location, and how many vents can be on one side of the house, or vent spacing, etc. My new furnace will be direct vent as well, but that will not happen until this summer at the earliest. I live in a small town, and no inspection or permits are needed, but I still want to do it to generally accepted codes if possible.
Thanks,
Michael
