Chimney

Liner

Installation

The chimney liner is one of the most important components of your fireplace and heating system. When our technicians perform a chimney inspection we look closely at the condition of the chimney liner. The liners exhaust the flue gases and smoke out of your fireplace or furnace flue and allow the hot and toxic gases to exit your home safely. Any breaks or openings in the chimney liner can lead to serious problems, potentially allowing a spark or floating ember to escape into the area between the lining and the chimney or the intrusion of carbon monoxide into the living space.

Cracks, breeches or deterioration of your flue can affect the way your system performs. If flue gases or particulate matter from a wood burning appliance escape into attics, walls or ceiling spaces there is potential for fire or carbon monoxide poisoning. These cracks or breeches in the system also affect the way your system draws. The flue system acts like a straw, causing the flue gases to be pulled up and out of the system from the top. If the flue has cracks or missing mortar joints, it will not perform as intended, similar to drinking out of a straw with holes in it.

Relining your fireplace, woodstove, furnace or water heater flue with stainless steel is the most common method used to repair a damaged or deteriorated chimney flue.

When a new furnace, boiler or water heater is installed, a new liner may be needed to properly size the more efficient appliance. The sizing is important because as the flue gases rise, they cool and condense. If the flue/liner is too large the gases may not vent properly.

Versatile Material Options

Chimney liners act as a barrier between the combustion byproducts and the chimney walls. Without a liner, the acidic gases produced during burning can corrode the masonry, reducing the lifespan of your chimney.

A liner helps contain heat and prevent it from reaching combustible materials surrounding the chimney. This reduces the risk of a chimney fire and protects your home.

Chimney liners enhance chimney draft for more efficient gas and smoke removal, improving fireplace/stove performance with greater heat output and lower fuel consumption.

A damaged chimney liner can leak carbon monoxide into your home, a dangerous odorless gas causing health issues or death. A proper liner vents combustion byproducts safely.

We offer chimney liners in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, and clay tiles. Our experts will help you choose the best liner material based on your chimney's specific needs and your budget.
