If the chimney is not been used to vent anything else it should be fine. providing the chimney is in good condition. If it is a brick chimney you should be using a liner that matches the size of the water heater vent.for proper venting

If the tankless heater is gravity vented you may use the chimney, if it is forced vented you cannot. You gan tell which is which by looking at it. If there is a small blower on the vent it is forced. Also since you say it is new you must have a manual, all your venting reqirements will be in there.
