This might be my very first post on here.
I am looking at installing a Yukon Eagle - Polar II wood/gas furnace in my house. According to the manufacturer, I need a 14" HT class A chimney. The manufacturer of the stove has quoted me "approximately" $2,500 for the chimney. I live in a ranch with an 8' ceiling on the main level, a 9' ceiling in the basement, and a decently sized attic, so I am guessing I need about 25' of chimney. Is that $2,500 quote reasonable? Can I get a decent chimney from somewhere else for less money? Had an installer quote me $2,850 for the 14" chimney, and that is with installation. Of course, neither the manufacturer nor the installer has told me what brand chimney they are going with. Guess I should press them on the matter.
I have been researching this for about a month now. Nothing like buying something that is supposed to last 30 years and something that could possibly burn down the house.
Thanks for any and all help.
