Chimney Flue Repair & Installation in Hollywood, FL

A chimney liner is an important part of the chimney system because it provides a proper passage for combustion gases from a heating appliance. When a liner is damaged, incorrectly sized, missing, or no longer suitable for the heating system, it may need to be repaired or replaced.

At Green World Pro Cleaners, we work with homeowners who need chimney liner installation, replacement, or relining. Depending on the chimney and heating system, we may install a stainless steel or aluminum liner. If your chimney also needs routine maintenance, you can learn more about our chimney cleaning service.

If you’re replacing or upgrading a furnace, boiler, or other heating appliance, it’s also important to make sure the existing chimney and liner are suitable for the new system. We can inspect the existing setup and explain what needs to be addressed.

Chimney Relining Services

In a home with a gas furnace or boiler, the chimney needs to safely vent the combustion gases produced by the heating system. The liner helps protect the chimney and provides a suitable passage for those gases.

Problems can arise when an older chimney is unlined, has a damaged liner, or has a liner that isn’t appropriate for the current heating appliance. This can also become an issue when a homeowner replaces an older furnace or boiler with a newer, higher-efficiency system.

Before recommending a relining or replacement, we look at the existing chimney and heating setup to determine what type of liner is appropriate.

Stainless Steel Chimney Liners

Stainless steel liners are used with many types of heating systems and can be a practical option when an existing chimney needs to be relined or replaced.

The installation needs to match the chimney and heating appliance. In some installations, insulation is also required or recommended. Flexible stainless steel liners can be useful where the chimney has offsets or bends that make a rigid liner difficult to install.

The right liner depends on the existing chimney, the heating system, and applicable installation requirements. We assess those factors before recommending a particular option.

Aluminum Chimney Liners

Aluminum liners can be used with certain gas heating systems, but they are not appropriate for every chimney or heating appliance. The type of liner required depends on the appliance, venting system, chimney, and applicable requirements.

If you’re unsure whether an aluminum or stainless steel liner is appropriate for your home, we can look at the existing system and explain the options.

When Should You Replace a Chimney Liner?

Many homeowners are unaware that it is time to reline the chimney in their home. There are a few reasons that it could be time for a chimney relining service. Here are a few potential scenarios in which you may need to replace a chimney liner:

• After upgrading a combustion heating system, such as a gas furnace or boiler, with a high–efficiency heating appliance or heat pump
• If there are known issues with the old liner being installed improperly or sized incorrectly, or if the chimney does not have a liner
• After installing a new hot water system that vents through an oversized or older chimney that does not have the proper lining
• If you don’t know when the chimney or liner was last inspected, having the existing system evaluated can help identify problems before you make changes to the heating system. You can learn more about our chimney inspection service and what we look for during an inspection.

Call the heating experts at Green World Pro Cleaners if you have any questions about your home’s heating or ventilation system.

Choosing the Right Chimney Liner

There isn’t one liner that works for every chimney. The right choice depends on the heating appliance, the existing chimney, the condition and size of the flue, and the requirements that apply to the installation.

Stainless steel and aluminum liners have different applications, so we look at the existing system before recommending one. If you’re replacing a furnace or boiler, we also need to consider how the new appliance will vent through the chimney. Our chimney maintenance tips can also help if you’re updating the heating system.

How We Approach Chimney Flue Work

We Look at the Existing Chimney

We start by looking at the condition of the existing chimney and liner and understanding what heating appliance is connected to it.

We Determine What Needs to Be Done

If the liner can be repaired or relined, we’ll explain that option. If replacement is necessary, we’ll explain why and what type of liner is appropriate.

We Match the Liner to the Heating System

The liner isn’t something we choose simply because one material is more common. The heating appliance, chimney, venting requirements, and existing conditions all matter.
