Improve your efficiency by installing a chimney liner

These are some of the key benefits of having your chimney liner installed;

Safety and protection

  • Increases safety for your family:

    The primary benefit is protecting your home from dangerous heat, sparks, and combustion byproducts like carbon monoxide. 

  • Protects your structure:

    It acts as a barrier between the fire and the chimney's masonry, preventing heat and corrosive gases from causing damage over time. 

  • Reducing dangerous chimney fires:

    By lining the flue, you reduce the buildup of flammable creosote, a major cause of chimney fires. 

  • Ensures code compliance:

    Most modern building codes require a chimney liner to be installed. 

Efficiency and performance

  • Improves draft:

    A properly sized and smooth liner improves the chimney's draft, allowing smoke and gases to exit more efficiently. 

  • Increases efficiency:

    A better draft means your heating appliance can run more efficiently, requiring less fuel for the same amount of heat. 

  • Prevents condensation:

    Liners help maintain a consistent temperature, which minimizes condensation. This reduces water damage and mold growth. 

  • Protects against corrosion:

    For gas appliances, corrosion-resistant liners are crucial to prevent acidic byproducts from damaging the chimney structure. 

Maintenance and other benefits

  • Easier to clean:

    A smooth liner surface makes it easier to remove soot and creosote buildup during cleaning. 

  • Simplifies inspections:

    The liner provides a clearer view of the chimney's condition, which simplifies inspections and helps catch potential issues early. 

  • Can add value:

    Installing a liner is a worthwhile investment that can add value to your home.  This could also be a good opportunity to discuss high efficiency options.

NOTE, Gas fired appliances can fail over time. Dangerous exhaust gasses can be released into your home undetected. To protect your family from dangerous carbon monoxide levels we recommended every home be equipped with a carbon monoxide detector.
