An installed gas furnace should have a minimum of ____ inches for service access.

  1. 12 inches

  2. 18 inches

  3. 24 inches

  4. 36 inches

The correct answer is: 12 inches

The minimum of 12 inches of service access is required for an installed gas furnace in order for a technician to perform necessary maintenance and repairs. The other options, although larger, would provide more space than needed and could potentially create a safety hazard by allowing for debris or objects to accumulate around the furnace.
