Hello
I have an attic space that shares a wall with a bedroom. The attic space houses my high efficiency furnace unit with all vents and exhaust ports thru the roof. The attic has a fire suppression sprinkler system and the furnace installation meets all space requirements. My question is whether or not I can have an access panel from the bedroom into the attic space to use if the furnace needs annual service or eventually replacement. I know the furnace cannot be in a bedroom closet or in the actual bedroom. But what about an access panel? Thank you.
