I don't think you would want to put the sump in the furnace room, two reasons the heat from the furnace (if the sump is close enough) will make the tank temp unstable and saltwater is pretty corrosive and it could cause your furnace's heat exchanger the fail prematurely. Just my 2 cents.

That was one of my fears, along with the fact that I also keep my kitty litter box in there and there could be contamination of litter into the sump.

i wouldn't want a sump in a heater room because the heater'd be sucking up tons of oxygen, and it would be fluctuating in temperature probably in ways you wouldn't like.

All depends on how big the furnace room.
Have my sump in mine with no problems with either moisture or heat fluctuations but then it's probably 10x10" plus the crawl space under the landing and stairs. As for combustion air, my furnace draws direct from outside as it's HE unit but if wasn't, it's code to have a combustion air intake line anyway, plus would also get air exchange from tank.

Good point Mark, I guess my tank is technically in the furnace room also. Its just the room is huge.
