For those of you wondering whether or not you should reline your chimney when installing hi efficiency furnaces. Please read the instructions for the furnace carefully 3 or 4 times if need be. It states clearly in 99% of them the need for a corrosion resistant metal flue liner sized as per ansi z.2331 in national fuel gas code. Their should be no debate after this easy inquiry, that is if your families safety is of any concern to you. Listen folks it may not be cheap but it sure as heck isn't expensive enough to neglect. We are talking about carbon monoxide in the Flue gases. Other codes like NFPA 211 expound on this too, so do your homework and be safe.
