Page 7: Combustion Appliance Present In Dwelling
Air Ventilation Warning!!! Combustion Appliance Present in Dwelling Read this Section Carefully With the presence of appliances evacuating air outside the building envelope (such as range hood, bathroom fan, dryer, Avir system, etc.) a negative pressure could be created inside the building. As the pressure inside the building gets lower than the barometric pressure outside, the smoke and gases from any combustion appliance (oil furnace, gas/wood stove, fireplace, etc.) may be drawn into the building rather than go out the chimney. -
