Somebody buys a large old farmhouse and gains all the necessary approval to convert it to a two-family structure. The owners will live downstairs and rent out the upstairs, hopefully to responsible, quiet tenants.
They would prefer that the renters pay for their own utilities, including heat. That usually means scheduling the installation of a furnace in Clinton somewhere in that upstairs apartment.
Location
The furnace should be tucked away out of sight, so it doesn’t detract from the decor of the apartment. Having a furnace in Clinton installed in a large closet with adequate ventilation for the system could be a possibility.
Another option would be to adjust the floor plan, so one main living area is a bit smaller because space has been given up for the furnace and associated duct pipes. This could be a convenient place for renters to store things they rarely or never use.
Air
Professional technicians from a company such as Business Name can make this type of installation safely in a convenient part of the building. There must be enough air provided for combustion, so the furnace cannot be installed in a small clothes closet with a closed solid door.
A louvered door might work. Improper installation or a furnace of the wrong size results in effects like suction holding the door shut when someone tries to open it.
Other Considerations
Along with fuel and plentiful air, the furnace needs an exhaust vent. In addition, a return-air register must be added in an appropriate place a certain distance from the furnace.
There should already be one on this floor, but the ductwork will need to be rerouted if it is too close to the appliance. Typical fuels for furnaces in this region include heating oil and liquid propane, although homes increasingly are hooked up to natural gas as it becomes available.
The exhaust vent usually is on the roof, which will probably be the case for a furnace in a second-story apartment. Otherwise, the technicians can install one in an outside wall if the furnace room is located against the exterior part of the building.
