Yes, this happened last year to me too. A number of us on the 7th had our stack extended just like Tom. (Unfortunatley, I should have had FP reimburse me, but I didn't pursue it aggressively as i should have.) It cost me about $300 and I used Charlie from Chas Heating Co - they were good.

Two things I found:> > 1. The stack for my unit was too close to the parapet wall and did not extend high enough above the parapet (per the Chicago Building Code) making my unit more susceptible to down-draft.> > 2. The constant tripping and resetting of the limit switch actually weakend the switch making it more sensative to a down-draft of any kind.> > After notifying FP of the stack issue, I had a mechanical contractor extend the stack. It wasn't real expensive, but since it was not per code to begin with, I was reimbursed for this work through Vanguard lofts. I also had the contractor replace the switch while he was out. The switch itself was about $7, and it took roughly 15 minute
