In addition to what the others said, if you decide to go with a gas
heating appliance that vents through the chimney (boiler or furnace) ,
the liner wouldn't (probably) need to be stainless. �For gas
appliances, the standard liners are aluminum, which is way, way
cheaper than stainless.

might as well go all gas with direct vent furnace and seperate direct
vent hot water tank.

the chimney wouldnt be used anymore and everything will be uch more
efficent.
