When were chimneys invented?
Chimneys were invented during the 12th century in Northern Europe, though we do not know who invented them, or precisely where. The oldest known example of a chimney dates from the year 1185. Prior to the invention of the chimney, smoke was vented in various ways. One was to have a hole in the roof, possibly with a vent cover called a louver to keep rain out. Another was to vent through window-like holes high in the walls, possibly with louvers to keep birds and bats out. Another way, used in castle and monastery kitchens, was merely to have very large, high windows. There was a thing called a smoke canopy, which gathered the smoke and vented it through the roof or a wall. A hearth that was situated against a stone wall, with a smoke canopy over it, looked rather like a fireplace, such as would have a chimney, even though no chimney existed. There is a link below to a question on smoke canopies. There is also a link to the history section of an article on chimneys, as well as a link to a picture of a great hall of the Late Middle Ages, with the hearth in the middle of the room.
Does a direct vent water heater have to be vented into a chimney?
No, directly vents through to outside wall of building.
What kind of vent is required for a cooktop vented down and out an exterior wall (for the outside wall itself)?
The type require is vent is required for a cooktop vented down and out an exterior wall (for the outside wall itself) I am installing an electric cooktop, with a pop-up downward vent that pulls steam and such through pipes in the floor.
What brand of wall furnaces are rated the highest?
Some of the highest rated wall furnaces are produced by the Williams company. you can find their products located on their official website as well as at The Home Depot.
Why are air vents placed on the outside wall of house?
Air vents on the outside wall of a house are typically placed to allow fresh air to enter and circulate inside the building. This helps to improve air quality, remove moisture, and prevent mold growth. Additionally, exterior vents are often located near appliances or equipment that require ventilation, such as HVAC systems or dryers.
How do you vent a portable air conditioner?
Portable air conditioners come with a vent hose that can be placed in a nearby window or vented through a hole in the wall like your clothes dryer.
What is the difference between a window air conditioner and a through the wall air conditioner?
Usually the manner in which the unit vents. Window air conditioners are contained in a case that has vent holes on the top and side while wall air conditioners are vented in the rear.
What are the advantages of a vent free fireplace over vented models?

Will an over the range microwave hook directly up to where an existing vent hood is vented through the wall?
Probably not. Most range hoods vent in the middle. Most microwaves vent on one side of the back behind the controls.
Ventless Over The Range Microwave Oven?
Ventless over-the-range microwave ovens use a ductless design and route steam and odors from the stovetop through a (usually) carbon filtration system before venting back into the room. One that is vented uses a duct that goes up through the attic (or- egad - through multiple stories) if its on an interior wall, or out through something similar to a dryer-vent if its located on an exterior wall.
Does sound go through acoustic panels?
Yes. Acoustic panels are meant to reduce echoing, not stop sound for passing through. To stop sound from passing through, you need 1 of 3 things: 1. A wall that is heavy. conrete block walls are good for this. You can also use double layers of gypsum wallboard on each side of the wall. 2. Offset wall studs. Your side of the wall is on one set of studs, and the other side of the wall is on an entirely different set of studs. This way, there is no direct path for sound waves to pass through. 3. Mount the wallboard on both sides of the wall on spring clips. The spring clips prevent a direct transfer of sound through hard materials.
How do you check a pressure regulator on a gas furnace?
Fuel efficiency in a gas furnace is measured in AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). Furnaces primarily run on natural gas or electricity. Furnaces that are used to boil water are called boilers. The term furnace also refers to the various types of metallurgical furnaces, used for smelting and other metalworks, as well as industrial furnaces, which are used in various industrial applications such as chemical plants and providing heat to chemical reactions. Furnaces can be classified into four general categories, based on efficiency and design, natural draft, forced-air, forced draft, and condensing. The first category of furnaces are natural draft, atmospheric burner furnaces. These furnaces consisted of cast-iron or riveted-steel heat exchangers built within an outer shell of brick, masonry, or steel. The heat exchangers were vented through brick or masonry chimneys. Air circulation depended on large, upwardly pitched pipes constructed of wood or metal. The pipes would channel the warm air into floor or wall vents inside the home. This method of heating worked because warm air rises. The system was simple, had few controls, a single automatic gas valve, and no blower. These furnaces could be made to work with any fuel simply by adapting the burner area. They have been operated with wood, coke, coal, trash, paper, natural gas, fuel oil as well as whale oil for a brief period at the turn of the century. Furnaces that used solid fuels required daily maintenance to remove ash and "clinkers" that accumulated in the bottom of the burner area. In later years, these furnaces were adapted with electric blowers to aid air distribution and speed moving heat into the home. Gas and oil-fired systems were usually controlled by a thermostat inside the home
