I just had a new furnace put in with the exhast out the side of the home. I noticed I am getting a moist area and icicles coming out of the soffit vent directly above the exghaust vent. This has never happened in 30 years.
I'm starting to think the furnace exhaust is causing the problem.
I noticed that the exhaust steam rises directly up to where that vent is, so I was thinking about buying a section of PVC tube and a connector to temporarily extend the exhaust out a few feet (say six feet) more away from the house during icicle season.
Any reason to be concerned? Can I ruin my furnace?
Nobody goes back there in the winter.
