Vent and exhausts clearances

ARKHOUSE | Posted in General Questions on

I have a short wall and several items to place on it(see image). I am in Ontario. I need 3ft clearance between intakes and vents and between the gas meter and vents. Unsure about the electric meter required clearances from the boiler and HRV vents.

Any thoughts on the layout?

    I think the image must not have attached. I am not aware of any code required clearances for the electric meter so you would want to be sure to check with the electric company.

    The best instructions are found in the rarely read installation instruction of your equipment. It will list the setback requirements and likely draw you a picture.

    I do not recall, ever seeing a setback from the power meter.
