Had a new 92% Rheem furnace installed in July and turned it on for the first time last night, and noticed today a lot of moisture on the outside of the exhaust pipe going outside. Is this normal, my first experience with a high efficiency furnace? Thanks for any info.

My exhaust comes from the basement to the outside just above the cinderblock wall. There is condensation because during the winter I have to keep knocking off icicles from the pipe.
When working right the exhaust consist of CO² and H²O. As the pipe cools outside all that water will condense on the cooler walls of the pipe. This is normal and one reason the pipe is PVC.

"Moisture" as in steam coming from the vent pipe when the furnace is runnin? Yes, it is normal. If the moisture is that produced by condensation on the pipe then I don't think that is normal.
