House built in 72. Probably the original oil furnace. I've owned since 97. Where the flue enters the chimney to the top measures 5.5 feet. It is located in the utility room(unheated) but not on the outside wall.
I posted a question in another subforum regarding the chimney. Someone mentioned I needed a liner. I've run across info stating furnace efficiency determines the need for a liner. I don't know the model of my furnace but I assume it's a "Mid-efficiency heating system" according to the dept of energy website.
I've attached a couple of pictures showing the broken mortar around where the flue entered the chimney. And a shot from the opening up the chimney.
Thanks
