What is a Chimney Liner?

Chimneys constitute an important system in your home and one of the most important parts of that system is your chimney liner. Just as the name implies, a chimney liner is an insert on the inside of the flue (the open passage of the chimney).

Why should a chimney be inspected?

Warming up and unwinding next to a roaring fire at the end of the day can help you get through the dark days of winter. Your relaxing ritual could turn into a serious health or safety risk if you haven’t had your fireplace or stove’s chimney cleaned and inspected before lighting a fire in the hearth.

Fireplaces and stoves are two of the leading sources of house fires and carbon monoxide poisoning in the U.S. Too often, these accidents could have been prevented if the homeowners had invested in a chimney cleaning and inspection.

What is a chimney cap?

Chimney caps are metal shields fitted to the top of your chimney crown. They typically consist of a solid cover resting atop wire mesh sides but are available in various styles to match the exterior of your home. Copper and steel are the preferred components, as aluminum caps are usually of low quality.

Although a chimney cap may appear to be a decorative extra, they actually fulfill a number of useful functions, making a quality one a sound investment considering the high cost of chimney or home repairs and the relatively low cost of purchasing and installing a cap.
