Allied Furnace: Return air must not come from a room with a gas appliance

Updated · by Aurora Star Tech Inc.

Return air must not come from a room with a gas appliance on a Allied furnace: Pulling return air from a room with a gas water heater, gas appliance or wood fireplace creates negative pressure. Flue gases can then be drawn back down the vent and produce carbon monoxide that is spread through the duct system.

How to fix return air must not come from a room with a gas appliance: step by step

  1. Do not draw return air from a room that contains another gas appliance or combustion device.
  2. Seal the plenum to the furnace cabinet with fiberglass strips, caulk or equivalent when using bottom or side return.
Safety: Gas, electrical and refrigerant work must be done by a licensed technician. Turn off power and gas before servicing, never bypass a safety control, and always follow the manufacturer's manual for your exact model.
