If you don’t have an effective chimney liner installed in the flue, your home could face serious fire hazards. The liner protects the chimney itself from the combustion fumes that vent out through it from the gas furnace, gas boiler, or fireplace. Chimney liner also stops those gases from escaping into the living spaces of the house. The liner also prevents heat from the combustion gas from radiating through the chimney and reaching flammable material surrounding it. If you need a new stainless steel or aluminum chimney liner installed in your house, give us a call by phone at (484) 206-8594. Our team will ensure you receive safe and effective venting with your heating system.
Signals It’s Time to Have a New Chimney Liner Installed
Purchasing a New Energy-Efficient Heating System
When you replace your heating system for an upgrade to a high-efficiency model, or to a type of heater that you haven’t used before, it is a good idea to also get a new chimney liner installed. The older chimney liner is likely inadequate for proper ventilation for the new system. This also applies to installing a new water heater if it vents through the same chimney.h
Lack of Chimney Inspections
If you can’t remember the last time you had qualified technicians inspect your chimney, then it has been too long. You should arrange for a safety inspection, and don’t be surprised if the technician proposes a chimney liner replacement.
Venting Issues in Chimney
Older chimney liners made of clay will start to crack apart over time, and should be replaced as soon as possible. If you have always experienced problems with venting through the chimney, you may perhaps have a liner that received bad installation. Call for inspections to see if the chimney liner should be replaced.

Stainless Steel and Aluminum Liners
The licensed technicians at WM Henderson provide stainless steel and aluminum chimney liner replacement services for small to large houses. Steel is the preferred metal, and can be made of more flexible material for unusually-shaped chimneys. However, the local codes in some areas prohibit using stainless steel for certain applications. In these cases, you can have an aluminum chimney liner installed instead.
