I'm sure you would be able to get a permit for a RMH in the People's Republic of Portland. In backwards Philly I'm sure Licensing and Inspection would put the kabosh on it, I bet. Maybe it could be done on the down low.


If anyone here's of people who install these things in the Philadelphia area kindly let me know. Thanks for the response, Brett.

Hi Folks,

I feel the same way Susan Pruitt does about building one of these RMH myself. I'm afraid of burning my house down or suffocating from carbon monoxide because I failed to make some kind of connection right. Frankly, I'm not much of a do-it-yourselfer. I'm old and with a bad back, but I've been following RMHs for a couple of years now and would be eager to use one of these in my house. I also have other concerns such as living in South Philadelphia in a row home. Do these heaters need permits typically in cities? What would be the best way to find someone who can install them? Obviously I'm willing to pay.

Thanks, guys.

Jeff
