| + | If you have an open burner design heating unit, you must supply air for it to burn and vent properly. This air is taken from the outside and should be a constant opening (opening the garage door every 10 minutes will not cut it here). Usually 4" to 6" depending on the amount of BTU's the unit fires at. If there is no combustion air it will begin to burn all of your ozygen out of your breating air and it will pull your space into a negitive pressure and the exhoust gasses will spill out of the combustion chamber. | ||
