Do you need a chimney liner?
Do you need to have a chimney liner for gas fireplaces? I have a very large wood burning fireplace, but when I had my house inspected the inspector said that there was not a liner. I am trying to figure out the cost of gas vs fire and what I should convert my fireplace into. Any comments or suggestions would be very helpful. YES-- 10 STAINLESS STEEL CHIMNEY LINER FACTS 1. The best stainless steel chimney liners have metal alloys ranging from 316TI to AL29-4C. 2. 316TI is a stainless steel alloy with a small amount of titanium added to it which helps protects against corrosion. 3. Liners like FlexKing and FlexKingPro are made to be flexible to get around any dog leg or smoke shelfs. 4. A seamless vent, is the safest way to correctly vent from your unit up and out of your home! 5. Not all stainless liners are the same. What some don't realize is that stainless steel comes in many different grades of alloy. 6. A stainless steel liner, made with one of the above alloys, should be guaranteed for the life of your home, make sure it is! 7. When a metal chimney liner is installed, it is required by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to be insulated on the outside of the liner. 8. The National Fire Protection Association standard 211 (NFPA 211) also requires all liners to be insulated around the outside. Insulating the liner prevents heat transfer , from a chimney, to the outer walls of the chimney. Additionally, insulating the liner contains the flue temperature within the liner thus producing a hotter flue temperature which naturally increases the draft of the venting system. 9. Some liners, like the FlexKingPro, will increase the efficiency of your heating unit, usually at least 10% to 15%, which also SAVES YOU MONEY! 10. Finally, when properly installed, it is not only the safest way, but the most cost effective way to KEEP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY SAFE!

Do you need chimney liner for inside chimney?
To start off, a Chimney Liner is a clay ceramic, or metal conduit installed inside of a chimney. The main purpose of a Chimney Liner is to contain the combustion products, direct them to the outside atmosphere, and to overall protect the chimney walls from heat and corrosion. You need a Chimney Liner because the flue gases are acidic and will literally eat away at the mortar joints from inside the chimney. As the mortar joints erode, heat transfers more rapidly to the nearby combustibles and dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide can leak into the living areas of the home. To get a Chimney Liner installed or to find out more about why you need one visit Powers Chimney & Masonry.

How To Choose The Right Chimney Liner For Your Home?
For anyone that has a chimney in their home, a chimney liner is necessary. Over time the inside of your chimney can break down and allow exhaust fumes to enter your home, causing serious health and safety problems for you and your family. Installing a chimney liner can help eliminate this problem. However you must first decide which available model chimney liner will provide the best results and work in the fashion that you need it to. There are basically four different types of chimney liners that are used by most homeowners. Depending on the type of appliances that you have and the amount of use you use them for will determine the right solution for you. 1. Clay Tile Chimney Liner. A clay tile chimney liner is the most affordable option when choosing a chimney liner. There are however, many negative aspects when using this type of liner for your home. The tiles are not able to distribute the heat evenly and can put more pressure in certain areas over others, causing the tiles to become brittle and crack more rapidly. This option also is not a good choice when using with gas appliances, as it does not handle combustible materials accurately. However, if you are using this for a fireplace and do not use it often, the clay tile chimney liner option would be beneficial for you. 2. Stainless Steel Chimney Liner. A stainless steel chimney liner is perfect to use with oil, gas or wood. The stainless steel chimney liner is available in a variety of shapes and is made to model to your specific chimney size. The catch with this model chimney liner is that regardless on which option, gas, oil or wood, that you use it with, you can not use it with another option later on. 3. Aluminum Chimney Liner. Aluminum chimney liners are economical and excellent for using to replace an old chimney liner model. The only catch with this option is that it is only recommended to be used with medium efficiency gas model appliances. 4. Cast in Chimney Liners. A cast in chimney liner is able to work correctly with all wood, oil and gas model appliances regardless of their size. This model lasts the longest and provides the best result because it is modeled completely to the inside of your chimney. However, the one drawback to this model is that it is the most costly of all available chimney liner options.

How To Replace Your Chimney Liner?
When your chimney is old and the lining comes undone, you are at a very high risk of smoke and carbon monoxide poisoning. Instead of building a new chimney from scratch, there is a cheaper option of just putting in a new chimney liner. Here is a short breakdown of the steps that you will need to follow. 1. The first thing that you need to do is put a probe down your chimney to check for and remove any obstructions that may be lodged within it. While doing this you can get to measure the interior of the chimney as well. 2. You will then need to clean the chimney. You can call a chimney sweep to do it for you or choose to do it yourself. You will need a cleaning brush that has a chain attached to it so that you can lower it into the chimney and pull it back up repetitively. They are very easy to find in hardware shops. 3. Step three is to choose a chimney liner suited to your chimney requirements. Very cheap options to go with are the flexible ones made from materials such as stainless steel. Make sure that you get the best fitting chimney liner so that you do not use up too much interior space of the chimney. 4. Lower the chimney liner from the top of the chimney. If you have a line lowered down and a wench at the top you will be able to do it easily using the line to draw the chimney liner in place. This should be done very slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the liner. A couple of plates should then be attached to keep the liner firmly in place. The plates will also keep the smoke from escaping into your home through the smoke chamber. 5. Step 5 will require that you make a mixture of vermiculite and cement which you will then pour down the chimney carefully. This mixture goes in between the chimney liner and the stone of the chimney itself. This step is done to properly insulate the chimney.
