Do You Need a Disconnect for a Furnace

[quogueelectric]

I have never seen fireproofing above a furnace in a crawl space. I don't believe it is required here for a basement either.

More money for you if it is required so celebrate!!

I know for a fact that I stock the firemans red switch plate for both oil and gas on my truck but 95% of my installs are oil here.
I am not sure but I have always figured one into any fuel burning device.
I have installed glassbreaks for gas boilers in residences here that the architect/engineer put on prints for me.
Just outside the room the equipment is in.

It is amazing, the different fuels, we use, the only place I have seen oil burners was in grandmas basement in indiana. All we have is nat.gas aroound here

I dont know what people are going to do next winter. An average winter is at least 500 gallons of oil for a 1500 sq ft house at 5$ a gallon thats 2500 bucks just to keep the house warm for a few months.

Here in Ft Worth they used to require a fused SSU and a thermal link firestat on a gas furnace.
I'm not sure they still do. It's been a while since my resi days.

SSU.

I had an EE one time refer to them as 'horsepower-rated switches'.
