Picked up extra room recently by hanging my new furnace from the ceiling and putting a tank-less water heater on the wall.

Just beware. Personal experience. In days of old, eight years ago when I was still working and in New York, I used to walk by and chat with a neighbor who as a hobby was restoring, working on old cars. He was proud that he got one of those old gas heaters that I remembered seeing hanging from the ceiling, in stores. He was so proud. He hung it and connected it to the gas all by himself. I have some regret I saw it and wondered if he had any idea that that heater and spray paint etc is a bomb waiting to blow up. He was found dead under his formerly gorgeous 1950 or so Jag that was destroyed by the fire and explosion in his garage. A simple spark as in a light switch can ignite dust, vapors etc.
