Chimney Liner FAQs

At Guaranteed Chimney of Westchester, we provide a whole host of chimney functions, such as installing and repairing chimney liners. Older chimney might have run down and damaged liners that can cause problems to your home and your health. Make sure your chimney is regularly inspected. This way you know when you'll need to replace a liner and it won't come as a surprise. But even if it is expected, there are still some questions to consider ensuring you get the right liner for your home.

Why Need a New Chimney Liner?

Obviously, the most common question is why you might need a new chimney liner. No one wants to pay for a new chimney liner if they believe their current one is okay. However, there are underlying issues that you may not be aware of that can be causing serious problems to your home. In short, there are three basic reasons to get a new chimney liner:

1. Chimney has no clay tile liner.
2. The clay tile chimney liner is damaged.
3. A chimney liner is needed to better performance and safety.

Some of these damages may be small, but any sort of crack can allow dangerous fumes to enter your home. And the brick and mortar may suffer from the extra heat and do so in ways you might not even notice. If you are installing a new appliance that will be vented into the chimney, like a stove or furnace, then the chimney needs to perform better.

How Will You Fix The Problem?

Of course you are not expected to know how to fix a chimney, but the person coming to install a new liner definitely should. And they should do so in detail and let you know about the benefits provided by the new liner.

They should also have answers for how they fit the liner in the flue. Different types of liners require different sorts of techniques for installing. Some may require the removal of existing clay and could lead to different issues. Having an informed discussion is something we at Guaranteed Home Improvement always have with our clients. We will work with you to make sure we go down the right path for your Westchester home and complete the chimney liner installation under the required budget.

Will It Require Insulation?

There are three basic types of chimney liners and the costs vary, so it is important to know what is being installed and why. This way you can estimate the costs and understand why that option was chosen. The three types of liners are:

1. Heavy
2. High Performance Light
3. Light

If a liner is being used for venting, insulation will be required. But insulation has its benefits even if it is venting gas or oil appliances. This is particularly true if the flue being lined is on the outer wall of a house. 

What is the Liner's Warranty?

Make sure the warranty being offered is up to industry standards. Most liner warranties come with stipulations about how it is installed and annual inspections. Have an understanding of what is needed from you. If you would like to learn more about our chimney services, please reach out to our office today.
