What goes into a liner job in Lake Fairview
Worth reading before you approve a liner for your Lake Fairview home.
Adding, removing or changing an appliance
NFPA 211 also calls for that closer inspection when an appliance is added or removed, or replaced with one of a different type, input rating or efficiency. A new stove, a retired furnace or a switch in fuel can each change what the flue has to handle.
Tell us about planned changes before anything is sized. A liner chosen for the old arrangement may not suit the new one, and relining twice is an expense nobody wants. If the new appliance is already chosen, bring its model number or manual to the inspection so the flue can be checked against it.
Old clay tile at the top of the chimney
A clay tile that protrudes above the chimney does not have to be removed if it is in good condition. If it is not, one manufacturer describes chipping it flush with a hammer and cold chisel, keeping the pieces out of the flue, and filling cracks and uneven surfaces with mortar before the top kit goes on.
We show you which case applies to your chimney before the job starts, and the trimming, if any, appears on the estimate. Leaving sound tile in place is often the tidier result.
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.
Why a non-conforming chimney needs insulation
One manufacturer explains that UL 1777 requires insulation where a chimney does not conform to code, for example one with zero clearance to combustibles or another defect. A chimney that meets NFPA 211 construction requirements may not need it.
That is why we look at how the chimney was built before deciding on insulation, instead of adding it by default or leaving it out to lower a price.
