Ice built up, furnace locked out
I had this concern for a while, but since it never caused a problem I left it alone:
Ice builds up at furnace exhaust
That is until yesterday, on the worst possible day! Install is 9 years old at this point and I don't expect the original installer to take care of it. I don't want to mess around with the roof, so if I was to make it right myself, would it be easier just to vent it to the side, at least the exhaust pipe?

Well, the installer said they will look at it, and also agreed that there shouldn't be two 90 degree elbows. Exhaust should be straight and not shooting into the cap.

I got it "fixed" for free, but it sticks out as a sore thumb by more than a foot. Could I cut it off past the cap?

All I can tell this is very ugly installation.... check the manufacturer manual for the equipment n call back your installer and teach him to read the manuals prior to attempt any installation.

The problem is there are two PVC lines...... fresh air in and exhaust inside the chimney.
The furnace requires minimum spacing between the two.
