energy star Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 You can still buy them. Here's a link to one supplier, I have never bought one, removed a few. I wish I had one under my chair right now, my house is freezing. Go figure. http://www.vmisales.com/floor_furnace/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Corrigan Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Ask the city inspector what code he uses and what section applies. Visit the City Clerk. Ask for the enabling legislation that was used to adopt the Code. Also ask for the enabling legislation that gives the City inspector his authority. If this looks ok, look up the Code either at the author (ICC?) or as modified by the AHJ. Tom Corrigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randynavarro Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 C'mon, the local code officials aren't untouchable gods. They're public servants. The information they use is available to the public. The city or local jurisdiction is obligated to provide you with any of this information without a hassle.
