Somewhat off-topic, but it concerns the installation of a non-vented Rinnai propane heater.

Is the installation of a non-vented propane heater allowed in a residential bedroom? Is this a state or local town, Town of Campton, NH, building code violation.


Some Rinnai propane heaters are direct vent which means they have thru-the-wall vent tubes or chimneys which bring in fresh air to support combustion, and expell the combustion fumes to the outside via an inner and outer tube(s) within the same chimney vent device.

Some other Rinnai propane heaters ar non-vented and do not have any vent to expell the combustion fumes to the outside. Are these legal for use in a bedroom? Can you smell any of the propane smell or combustion fumes in the heated air as you breath it in?

Does this come under the watchfull eye of the local fire dept or the local building code officer or what?
