    Natural gas smell
    We have had a goodman direct vent furnace and a Rinnai tankless waterheater installed and sometimes we have the smell of gas in the basement. It seems to happen when there is a breeze outside. Is this normal.

    No. Are we talking Natural Gas or Propane. If this is an exhaust problem you could also be venting CO as well.
