This is not necessary with the JXi heater because it has a special ventud-type combustion system which self -compensates for changes in barometric pressure. Air flow through the blower inlet pulls the correct flow of gas into the burner regardless of air density. JXi heaters are CSA certified for elevations of up to 4,500 feet above sea level. At elevations above 4,500 ft., the heater BTU output can be expected to be reduced by 4% for every 1,000 feet over 4,500 feet above sea level.
