In this brief video, we explain the importance of a properly vented exhaust flue for combustion water heaters. Unlike electric water heaters, combustion water heaters generate combustion gasses as a byproduct of their operation. These gasses contain carbon monoxide and other harmful substances that need to be safely and effectively vented to the exterior of a home. Ensuring proper combustion vent design and configuration is a crucial aspect of any home inspection. ‪@alpinebuildingperformance‬
