Anywhere around Wayne county. I have been doing a lot of work south around monroe as well. Pretty much anywhere within an hour or so of wayne county.
How much air were you planning on venting out ? And do you have a plan to bring air back into the basement ? You do not want to create a negative pressure in a basement .
Hi Abe yes it would and that is why pressures are important , you could in fact create a deadly situation .
It could unless there was some sort of check valve but for ducting??
I have 4 1000's total that are on two separate duct runs using separate 435 CFM 6 inch inline fans. The ducts pull air from the portholes I have cut out in a window and pushes it through 2 reflectors each duct run, then out of the room and I would be plugging into the chimney after that somehow instead of exhausting into the ambient basement air. As of yet, I don't exactly have a plan to replace the basement air but I was under the assumption I wouldn't need to since the exhausts are pulling air from the outside, it would be sealed aside from the small cracks and holes in the reflectors and duct work.
It sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what your doing . Need to knowI have 4 1000's total that are on two separate duct runs using separate 435 CFM 6 inch inline fans. The ducts pull air from the portholes I have cut out in a window and pushes it through 2 reflectors each duct run, then out of the room and I would be plugging into the chimney after that somehow instead of exhausting into the ambient basement air.

I also plan on hooking a 14KBTU portable A/C both inside and outside of the room. One is already installed inside the room (as of right now it is both intaking and exhausting air from and back into the basement just outside of the room) and I would hook the other up on the outside of the room for the purpose of keeping my work area cool while working in the basement. Obviously, I need to get the portable A/C ducting sealed and pulling/pushing air from/to the outside of the house.
I hope this makes enough sense to give me some ideas. I was going to just pick up a couple carbon monoxide detectors and set them up near the furnace and water heater and just see what works through trial and error. If the information I have provided is not enough, I would be happy to take some photos and draw up some diagrams with MSPaint. Thanks for your response
If the question is should I use a portable A/C or a mini split ? Then for sure use the mini split . But if a person is on a budget and already has a 14 K portable then there are other options , I just noticed something else the thread was started by hockey 4848 to drum up extra work and I should probably NOT have even posted what I did ( Sorry ) I only posted because I was worried that someone might do something that might be deadly .
