Chimney Liner Installation Process

Straightforward Installation, No Surprises

First, we inspect your existing chimney to determine the right liner size and identify any structural issues that need addressing. You get a clear explanation of what needs to be done and why.

Next, we remove the old liner if one exists and clean the chimney thoroughly. The new stainless steel liner gets sized and cut to fit your specific chimney dimensions.

Installation involves carefully lowering the liner down the chimney and connecting it properly at both ends. We seal everything according to code and test the system to ensure proper draft and safety. You receive documentation for your insurance company and local authorities.

How much does chimney liner installation cost in New Shoreham?

Chimney liner installation typically ranges from $2,500 to $5,000 depending on your chimney’s height, condition, and accessibility. Straight-run installations cost less than chimneys with bends or offsets that require special fittings. The size of your flue also affects pricing since larger liners require more material. Most New Shoreham homes need 6-inch or 8-inch liners for standard fireplaces. You’ll get a free estimate that breaks down all costs upfront, and in-house financing is available to qualified customers.
A properly installed stainless steel chimney liner typically lasts 15-20 years with regular maintenance, sometimes longer in ideal conditions. The marine-grade stainless steel we use in New Shoreham installations resists the salt air corrosion that destroys cheaper materials. Your liner’s lifespan depends on how often you use your fireplace, what type of fuel you burn, and whether you keep up with annual cleaning and inspections. Wood burning creates more creosote buildup than gas, which can shorten liner life if not properly maintained.
Most older chimneys in New Shoreham have clay tile liners that crack over time, especially with freeze-thaw cycles and salt air exposure. Even small cracks allow dangerous gases to seep into your home’s structure. Insurance companies increasingly require proper liner systems because they understand the safety risks. A damaged liner also reduces your chimney’s efficiency and can cause moisture problems that lead to expensive structural repairs. Modern building codes require liners for good reason – they prevent house fires and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Yes, chimney liner installation can be done year-round since most of the work happens inside your existing chimney structure. Weather rarely prevents the installation itself, though extreme conditions might delay scheduling for safety reasons. Winter installations are actually common because that’s when homeowners discover their chimney problems. You don’t want to wait until next season if you’re dealing with safety issues or insurance requirements. The installation typically takes one day for standard chimneys, so you’re not without heat for long.
A properly sized liner actually improves your fireplace’s performance by creating better draft and reducing smoke problems. The smooth stainless steel interior allows gases to flow more efficiently than rough clay tiles or deteriorated masonry. You’ll notice less backdraft, better fire starting, and more complete combustion. However, sizing is critical – a liner that’s too large or too small can create draft problems. That’s why professional measurement and installation matter. CSI certified technicians understand the physics of proper chimney draft and size your liner accordingly.
The pre-installation inspection identifies any structural issues that need addressing before or during liner installation. Common problems include damaged chimney crowns, deteriorated mortar joints, or issues with the damper system. You’ll know about these issues upfront, not as surprise charges during installation. Sometimes minor repairs can be handled during the liner installation, while major structural work might need to be completed first. The goal is ensuring your entire chimney system works safely and efficiently, not just installing a liner in a compromised chimney.
