Hi I have 2 NG atmospherically vented water heaters in my garage.
I plan to put in a split ductless AC system in this summer. I have a question about the vents that are on one wall in my garage. Its obviously going to bring in outside air but the question is how much. They sit about 4" above the bottom plate. I have 3 of them they are about 6" tall by 12" wide. Are those to provide air for the water heater combustion?Curious how mush air infiltration is caused by water heater combustion through out the day.
Wondering if I should enclose my water heaters in a closet and add an outside air source for it. I do have living space above my garage and the The exhaust venting goes up a chase and terminates above the second floor bedrooms.
Perhaps all this doesnt even really matter...
all info appreciated.
