I have a home with a basement. We had it built in 1999. The

HVAC
(gas) sits right next to the gas water heater. This utility

room
is
around 20' x 8' with a tight door, located in the basement.

There
are two cold air returns on the 1st floor.

The HVAC metal ducting that goes into the attic for the cold

air
returns has two large holes in it with vents, right beside the

gas
water heater. If I remove the grills and cover up these so

they
can't get air, the duct work at that location gets sucked in
slightly
due to the negative air pressure (I think I'm saying this

right.)

I read in a Popular Mechanics that you don't want cold air

returns
near the furnace. I know nothing about this stuff. Are these
vents
cold air returns? Is this an issue? Should I have these vents
closed
off and another cold air return piped to the hallway?

Thank you;

Edwin

Could the ducts be for combustion air?


Not when it effects the return air ducting.

The correct phrasing would be: Not when it affects the return air
ducting.

Of course now you'll claim that you knew that. Sure, we believe you,

uh-
hunh...


Oh my, the idiot police have arrived... an e for an a...

However, my statement *is* true, unlike a lot of your ****.

No your statement as written isn't true. Admit your error and move on.

Or
try to lie your way out of it like always.



Then, by all means, prove that it's wrong.
BTW, my posts are always based on facts. Unlike yours, which contain lie
after lie.


Point out one lie. There isn't a single one. You had to ask why a liquid
line won't sweat and you can't provide a clear technical explanation of

the
return duct function.



So, you want to bring in your lies from another thread, Eh?
I NEVER asked WHY a LL would sweat.
But, you made it very clear that you know nothing about mini-splits!

Nothing I have posted in this thread is inaccurate either, so why don't you
STFU.


Looks like you can't even handle the English language much less a

technical
subject. Sorry 'bout that. Maybe you should just focus trying to

display
some competence? Of course that is probably beyond your capabilities...



No problems here, sorry you can't handle the heat and have to make up

****.

It's real simple. Go to a dictionary. Look-up "effect" and "affect." Note
the difference. Nothing made up at all. Sorry that you can't admit your
errors and move on.



Just like your butt buddy with the "you" for "your"...
But, since that's all you got, run with it, right?

My statements are facts, I'm sorry that you're incompetent and can't keep up
in a technical discussion.
