Best Answer

If you do not vent a natural gas water heater, anytime of the year, CO and CO2 will build up in your home. Anytime you are burning anything indoors you will need to vent the product. The only exception are 'ventless' heaters/fireplaces/ect. If you use a ventless system make sure you spend money on a CO and CO2 monitor. (Not a bad idea anyway when burning anything indoors.)

I think that is what you are asking?
