‘Tis the Season
Chimney liners are a necessity if you own a home with a wood- or gas- or pellet- or corn- burning fireplace. A thick, tarry smoke rises from every fire you burn, and without a liner, it will stick to the walls of your chimney and create a fire hazard.
Stay safe this holiday season and get a chimney liner installed.
Here’s what will happen:
- You’ll need an inspection: Ron Jon Chimney will inspect the chimney to look for bends or restrictions that could interfere with pulling the liner through.
- Size Matters! Next, we’ll need to determine the correct diameter of the liner. For a wood stove/insert, we’ll ask for the owner’s manual for proper sizing or size it ourselves. For an open fireplace, we’re the experts.
- The product: Typically, a stainless steel flexible chimney liner will be part of the service and will come with all of the products / pieces that are needed to install the chimney liner safely.
- Insulation: We’ll then determine whether to use an insulation blanket or a pour-in insulation. If there is more than approximately 2″ clearance between the liner and chimney wall on all sides, the blanket liner is best.
- On the rooftop: Once the liner is installed, we’ll need to climb to the roof near the chimney. Don’t try this at home!
- Installation complete – with a few additional steps that should be done by a professional.
For safety:
- Stainless steel liners, especially when cut, can be sharp. Please don’t touch if you’re curious or helping out.
- Chimney sweeping: During this process, it is also important for us to clean out the creosote in the tee cap or fireplace, depending in your venting application.
