My 15 year old oil burner uses a power vent through the side of the
foundation. Last HVAC serviceman noticed the vent was getting old, and
I never cared much for the idea of the way it worked anyway.

Any rough ideas how much it would cost, in Eastern PA, to have it
replaced with a basic stainless steel chimney? Don't care much about
appearance, basic plain pipe is OK.

I'd like to have an idea what to expect when the guy from the oil
company comes to give me an estimate.

House is a ranch style, right now the power vent is about six feet from
the end of the house, about 24 inches off the ground, any pipe would
have to travel a few feet to miss a window, so would the horizontal
rise be a problem?

Thanks in advance.
