new oil furnace - new water problem

Hi & thank you for reading. Owned house about 30 yrs and never a problem. Added a new oil furnace. Since then have water leaking in to basement thru clean out door. Have white efflorescence stain on outside house on chimney. Installer says water is condensation caused by exhausted air (383 degrees) cooling before discharging chimney, turning to condensation/water and dripping back.
thoughts, suggestion is my installer taking me down the wrong path ?
THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!! Ed in Massachusetts

Is this an exterior chimney or is it all interior?0

Shouldn't the installer be fixing it if they put in a new furnace without a liner and it needed a liner to draft properly...0

Sounds like you need a liner, possibly an insulated liner especially if the chimney is exposed to the cold for more than a few feet.Serving Northern Maine HVAC & Controls. I burn wood, it smells good!0
