lightfoot63 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 I have heard that floor furnaces have been banned. Can anyone shed some light on this.

Jeff Remas Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Maybe in his jurisdiction but not nationally
lightfoot63 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 IS THERE A SITE ON THE INTERNET THAT I CAN GO TO TO FIND OUT IF HE WAS JUST BLOWING SMOKE
energy star Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 You can still buy them. Here's a link to one supplier, I have never bought one, removed a few. I wish I had one under my chair right now, my house is freezing. Go figure. http://www.vmisales.com/floor_furnace/index.html
Tom Corrigan Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Ask the city inspector what code he uses and what section applies. Visit the City Clerk. Ask for the enabling legislation that was used to adopt the Code. Also ask for the enabling legislation that gives the City inspector his authority. If this looks ok, look up the Code either at the author (ICC?) or as modified by the AHJ. Tom Corrigan
randynavarro Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 C'mon, the local code officials aren't untouchable gods. They're public servants. The information they use is available to the public. The city or local jurisdiction is obligated to provide you with any of this information without a hassle.
