These I believe are return vents or they were because this picture


shows the furnace witha vent on the rht side [ should this hook to


something ] and up top on lftside [should this be a extension to furnace.

I saw a furnace just like this in a two story . it was upstairs in the closet .


very similir. mine had two vents just like this on both sides , identical


and went to the attic but were not hooked to anything . I saw no harm


because it wasn’t an exhaust vent it was a return . Was i wrong on this


call not to call it ? if so call what that there was a open space in the furnace closet

Question


It appears that this furnace is in a closet. Was the door louvered or was there vents in the walls allowing for make-up combustion air? What is the approximate age of the dwelling? And is this the original furnace or a replacement?

Those are vents to allow draft and combustion air into the closet for the furnace.
