Relining explained for Bal Bay homeowners
How we think through a liner for your Bal Bay chimney, from the appliance to the cap.
Gas appliance flues follow their own rules
Section R1003.11.3 sends flue lining systems for gas appliances to the code's fuel gas chapter, and liner makers refer gas sizing to NFPA 54 and the appliance manufacturer. A liner sized by fireplace rules can be wrong for a furnace or water heater sharing the chimney.
When a gas appliance vents into your chimney, we size and specify that flue by its own rules and cite the reference in the estimate, so anyone who reads it can check the sizing. If the gas appliance is due for replacement, we suggest settling that first, since the new unit's manual may call for something different.
Changing fuel means rechecking the liner
Moving from one fuel to another is one of the changes that calls for a fresh look at the flue. The lining must suit the appliance connected, and the new appliance's instructions may call for a different size or product.
We review the liner against the new appliance before it is connected, not after the first problem. If the existing liner can stay, we tell you and explain why it still qualifies.
Liner cap or chimney cap
A liner cap covers one flue opening as part of the liner system. A chimney cap covers the flue from the crown, and on some chimneys covers several flues at once. Both can exist on one chimney.
If your chimney cap also needs replacing, it is priced as its own item, and we make sure the two parts fit together. The words get mixed up often, so the estimate names each part and shows which one the relining includes.
Replacing an older metal liner
An older metal liner can corrode, separate at its joints or collapse, particularly if it was never suited to the appliance. Replacing it starts with understanding why it failed, so the new system avoids the same cause.
We remove the old liner, check the flue behind it and size the replacement to the appliance you use now. The old liner goes with us, and its removal is shown as its own line on the estimate.

Chimney liner questions from Bal Bay
No sales pitch, only answers from our liner specialists in Bal Bay.
Can a new liner go inside my existing clay tile?
Often it can, if the tile leaves enough room for the liner and any insulation, and damaged pieces will not block it. When there is not enough room, the tile may need to come out. We explain which applies after proving the route.
How do you choose the liner size?
From the appliance first. For a stove we follow its outlet size or the maker's instructions, and for an open fireplace we measure the opening. We then check that size against the chimney route before anything is ordered.
