Why Chimney Liners Are So Important
Your chimney liner serves as a protective barrier inside your flue. It safely channels smoke, heat, and gases out of your home while protecting your chimney’s masonry from deterioration. A damaged or missing liner can lead to dangerous heat transfer, structural damage, poor ventilation, and even carbon monoxide exposure.
A properly installed chimney liner:
Improves the safety and efficiency of your fireplace or appliance
Prevents chimney fires by containing high temperatures and sparks
Protects masonry from corrosive gases and moisture
Helps appliances vent properly, reducing smoke and odor
Ensures code compliance for home safety and insurance requirements
Our Chimney Liner Installation Services
At The Chimney Guards, we install a variety of liner types based on your specific system and needs:
Stainless Steel Liners: The most common and durable choice for relining. Ideal for wood-burning and gas systems.
Clay Tile Liners: Typically found in older homes. We replace or repair sections if salvageable.
Cast-in-Place Liners: A poured-in material that forms a seamless liner. Great for historic chimneys or damaged flues.
Gas Appliance Liners: We install liners specially designed for furnaces, boilers, and gas fireplaces.
Our process includes:
Detailed Chimney Inspection – We assess your current flue’s condition and determine the right liner type.
Custom Sizing – We install a liner properly sized for your appliance to maximize performance and safety.
Professional Installation – We ensure the liner is sealed, insulated (when necessary), and fully code-compliant.
Cleanup & Final Report – We leave your space clean and provide a full report on your chimney’s new setup.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chimney Liner Installation
What does a chimney liner do?
It protects your home from heat and gases by safely venting smoke and byproducts from your fireplace or stove.
How do I know if my liner is damaged?
Common signs include poor draft, smoke smells indoors, visible cracks, or pieces of tile falling into the fireplace.
How long does a chimney liner last?
Stainless steel liners can last 15–25 years or more with proper maintenance. Clay liners may crack over time.
Can I install a chimney liner myself?
DIY installations can be dangerous. Professional installation ensures the correct size, fit, and safety compliance.
Do I need a liner for a gas appliance?
Yes. Gas appliances still produce heat and moisture that can damage masonry without a proper liner.
What’s the cost of a chimney liner installation?
Costs vary based on chimney height, liner type, and condition. We provide free estimates and upfront pricing.
Will installing a new liner fix my draft problem?
Yes—often an improperly sized or missing liner causes poor draft. A new liner can improve airflow and efficiency.
