Adding a wood-burning insert

Planning to put a wood insert into the fireplace? It needs a liner running from its outlet to the top of the chimney, sized to the insert's collar and the maker's instructions. Venting an insert into an oversized clay flue lets smoke cool and deposit build fast.

A stainless liner made for wood, connected to the insert and insulated where the chimney calls for it, fixes that. The liner and the insert installation can be done together so the fireplace goes from open to heating in one project. You'll see each part priced. Talk to our specialists about lining for your insert in East Bronson at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Crowns under inland top plates

The top plate of a relined chimney in East Bronson sits on the crown. A cracked or flat crown lets water in around the plate, down around the liner inside the old flue. Our pros check the crown before fitting the plate and price any repair separately, so the new liner has a sound, dry top. Crown and plate work can happen on one visit.

How It Works

Sizing starts with what you burn

Read the appliance

The rating plate and manual come first, then the flue is measured and inspected.
Sweep and prove the path

After a sweep, a test piece is run down the flue to confirm the liner will pass.
Wrap, feed and connect

The liner is insulated where needed, fed down, and connected at the bottom.
Seal the top, explain break-in

The top plate and cap go on, the draft is checked, and you get break-in steps.

When the water heater is left on its own

A masonry flue once shared by a furnace and a water heater was sized for both. When the furnace is replaced with one that vents elsewhere, the water heater is left alone in a flue far too big for it.

Its small amount of exhaust cools and condenses in that big flue, and it may not draft reliably. Our specialists check for that situation whenever a furnace has been changed, and size a liner for the water heater alone, using the gas code's tables and the heater's instructions.

The fix is a smaller liner, and it's priced up front. The new liner size is on the quote.

Break-in fires on a new liner

Some insulated liner systems call for reduced flue temperatures for a break-in period after installation. National Chimney's instructions, for instance, describe small to moderate fires in a fireplace for the first few hours of use.

The gentler start lets the insulation and joints settle. Our pros give you the break-in steps for your liner spelled out, with what to watch for during those first fires.

After that, the fireplace or insert is used as normal. Skipping the break-in may not cause trouble right away, but it's part of the maker's instructions and worth following. Our pros can answer questions on the phone during those first fires.

Relining after a chimney fire

A chimney fire can reach temperatures that crack clay tile along much of the flue, even when the fire itself was brief. Before the fireplace is used again, the flue needs a full inspection, and cracked tile means relining.

After checking the full height of the flue, the smoke chamber, the crown and the framing near the chimney, our specialists recommend a liner insulated to its listing, which also shields the masonry from the heat of the flue.

They'll tell you what caused the fire, from deposit to fuel, so the new liner isn't put through the same thing. A clean, well-fed fire is the best protection.

FAQs

Liner questions from homeowners

How do you decide the liner size?

From the appliance. An insert's collar and manual set it, a gas appliance is sized from the gas code's tables and its instructions, and an open fireplace from the building code's ratio to its opening.

Is relining covered by a warranty?

You get our workmanship warranty on the installation, and the liner carries its maker's warranty under its terms. Reserve your free relining inspection in East Bronson at (352) 675-6366.
