My furnace room is 23 x 10 ft; got this 5" insulated flexible pipe coming from the outside, coming down into my bucket on the floor (gas furnace). Do I understand right that I should have a "cold air return" in this room also?
A room that size has all kinds of opportunity to install return air grill at least ten feet from the combustion air duct.
