[quote=Anonymous]2 potential problems: 1. Do the furnace and HWH have enough combustion air? If both are drawing air from a basement or closet, and not from outside (i.e. no high efficiency) than a lack of air will cause pilot light problems. If the furnace is in a closet, it needs to have louvered doors. 2. The installer may have cut off the gas vent. At one end of the gas line there should be a vent on the outside of your home, should look like one of these pictures. http://www.genesyscombustion.com/GasPressureRegulators.html Bottom line - any installation of a gas appliance is a code issue, and everywhere in this area a licensed gas fitter MUST by regulation complete an installation, so have your furnace installer out as many time as you need to fix the situation. And you can always call the gas company (Washington Gas is particularly good about this)...if you complain, they will pull licenses until it is fixed.[/quote]
