unless you have a gravity furnace, that assumption - you'd have heat after the juice stops - might kill you. Without the electric blowers to move the hot air around, a gas furnace is going to build up CO2 and other waste products and won't heat the house well because it can't move the hot air.
glad to see there's no pilots on modern units, electrical starters are much more sensible.
Nope. In this case it vents immediately outside. There are no moving parts. They don’t make them anymore
It heats up a radiator, so the room heats up by convection. There is a separate blower on the side to speed that up, but it’s not necessary to get the room hot
This is for a one room addition, so there’s no house circulation to worry about. It’s 20’x20’ so we can all sleep in there easily enough
ah, interesting case!
