Hello All!
Just discovering this forum and have found so much useful information!
My question is in regards to the appropriate location of a gas water heater. I live in Australia in a raised house. In Australia houses are built off the ground to increase air flow and cool the house. Half of my basement is 1.5 meters off the ground and half is a full story. The full height section contains a laundry, storage room and a large half enclosed area. I have a Bosch Electronic Water Wizard 13 (despite it's name it is actually a gas heater that heats water as it runs through a tank less system) that is installed in this large open room. (it looks very similar to this one when the front plate is removed).
This is very economical in a warm climate and it does a great job! (never runs out of hot water
).
I intend to create a very large room out of the half enclosed area by finishing the internal walls and installing a double door across the entrance.
My problem is where to place the Heater! I assumed it cannot be enclosed.
The easiest solution is to rotate it on the wall it is currently mounted. The issue with this solution is that the heater will be in the 1.5m high area. With only 140mm between the ceiling and ground (soil). Is this sufficient or should i look to place it else where?
What are the installing requirements for a heater of this type?
Thank you so much for you help in advance!
cheers,
Aaron
