Chimney lining is crucial to preserving a safe home. The role of the chimney lining is to provide proper insulation and help stop toxic gases in the chimney from penetrating your home. If the liner is not installed accurately or if it is damaged, that could cause fumes to return into the house. A drag back is a large amount of harmful smoke returning into the home.
When looking to rebuild, repair or replace your chimney liner, it is essential to know what is needed from a chimney lining specialist. At Chimney Solutions, our chimney lining specialist will come to inspect your chimney to see what is required for the job. Proper insulation and installation are necessary to ensure safety and comfort.
What Does A Chimney Liner Do?
A chimney liner helps protect the house from fire. The chimney liner gets a better draft from the furnace to work more efficiently. The chimney liner also stops condensation and leaks from entering the chimney’s foundation.
Oil to Gas Conversion
When you convert from oil to gas, it’s a New York state law that you have to have a stainless steel liner in place. When you use gas to fuel your fireplace, the temperatures are much higher than the oil. The high gas temperatures against the cold clay cause condensation, leading to erosion inside the clay. When the clay erodes, it causes blockages in the fuel system.
Types of Chimney Liners
If you still don’t have a chimney liner and you’re thinking of installing one, you can choose from its different types. Consult a chimney expert to know which is the best type for you.
The types of chimney liners are:
- Clay liners – the most common type of chimney flue, a clay liner is perfect for those seeking a less expensive option but can still maintain their fireplace correctly. They also work perfectly well and can even last up to 50 years — but this is only with proper chimney maintenance services.
- Cast-in-place liners – this flue liner is usually made with concrete — your chimney professional will install a mold and pour concrete, serving as the chimney’s lining. Once dry, you will have a flue liner without cracks or leaks. It’s good insulation that provides more structural support to your chimney.
- Stainless steel liners – stainless steel chimney liners are the most popular type of flue lining. They’re also flexible chimney liners so that they would fit chimneys or heat systems with intricate engineering.
