Dan, What causes the down draft? If that were eliminated, wouldn't the furnace last longer? Spero Pipakis [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Rossi Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 3:16 PM To:

Spero, I think a new chimney would help with the down draft issue. Not really sure that would be any cheaper than a new furnace though. Besides, I really want a side vented furnace so I can move the unit toward the back of the house instead of the middle along one side. don't tell Teresa

He probably needs to extend the chimney pipe a little higher. Still, a modern closed combustion unit will give more room, tighten up the air envelope of the living space and pay back in about as many years as the furnace will last I figure. Dale Leavens, Cochrane Ontario Canada [EMAIL
