One of the furnaces is high efficiency. The reason I needed work done was due to water leaking. This was just a temp fix until I replace both furnaces and once both are replace, I will also have the hot water tanks re-routed. I used - [http://www.felgemachermasonry.com/](http://www.felgemachermasonry.com/) They first quoted me 1400 for a rebuilt chimney but once getting up there and working on it, they stated a rebuild was not needed - put a new cap on, repointing, rain cap, etc. [![http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e167/Mankthetank19/chimney_zps64aed817.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/8/0/80a1ffba079e4a91967caddb6dc09837c951bdbf.jpeg)](http://s39.photobucket.com/user/Mankthetank19/media/chimney_zps64aed817.jpg.html) If you use them, let them know Dan Mank from Kenmore recommended them ---
