My high efficiency furnace was installed last fall. It vents via PVC pipes and a cone vent through the wall. Now that the heating season is coming to a close, should the intake and exhaust pipes be protected from insects, etc for the summer.? Even a dryer vent has a flapper to keep everything out, but the furnace pipes don't have any such protection. I'd hate to have hornets set up shop and build a nest inside the pvc pipes or even the furnace.
