Converting a fireplace to gas

Switching a wood fireplace over to a gas appliance? The gas unit's instructions set the venting, and a clay flue built for wood smoke tends to be far too big for gas exhaust. That leads to condensation inside the flue.

Our specialists size a liner to the gas appliance's instructions and fit one made for gas exhaust, sealed at the top. The gas line itself is a gas contractor's work, and your quote says who handles it. The liner and the appliance hookup are planned together, so nothing is missed. Talk to our pros about lining for a gas conversion in Williston Highlands by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Our Williston Highlands coverage is inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. From the Gainesville reference point, Williston Highlands is about 26 miles away in a direct line.

Local Conditions

Two appliances sharing a chimney

If your chimney serves both a fireplace and a furnace or water heater, each should have its own flue, and sometimes, wrongly, they share one. Our specialists check which appliance uses which flue and plan a liner for each that needs one, with two liners side by side where the flue is large enough. Each liner gets its own price. That plan comes on the quote.

How It Works

Relining day in Williston Highlands

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.

The flue an open fireplace needs

With no collar on an open fireplace, the building code works the flue size out from the fireplace opening instead. Under the Florida Building Code, a round flue has to be at least one twelfth of the opening's area and a square one at least one tenth.

Width times height gives the opening's area, and the liner chosen must satisfy that ratio. A large opening can need a bigger liner than the chimney can hold.

In that case, reducing the opening with a surround or glass doors listed for it can bring the numbers into line, and you'll hear those choices with their prices.

Cleaning the flue before relining

Liner makers ask for a swept flue and a clean smoke chamber before their product is fitted. Deposit left behind a new liner can keep smoldering, and an unswept flue hides the loose tile and ledges that decide the install.

So the sweep comes first, then the smoke chamber is scraped and anything loose is pulled from the old flue. Then our pros measure and prove the path on a clean flue.

The sweep is part of the relining plan and priced on its own line. If heavy glaze is found, removing it may be a separate step, and you'll hear about it before the liner is ordered.

Keeping a stainless liner clean

A stainless liner still needs care after installation. Keep its instructions so future cleaning can use a head and method suited to that liner; brush material alone does not establish that a tool is suitable.

That's the brush our pros use on stainless, and they empty the tee cap at the bottom where there is one. Yearly sweeping and dry fuel are the two biggest things you can do to make the liner last, since deposit and moisture shorten its life.

The liner's make and size are on your quote, so the right brush comes on every future sweep. A dry, clean liner lasts longest.

FAQs

Before relining in Williston Highlands, a few answers

Does my liner need insulation?

Where the chimney's clearance to combustibles can't be confirmed, liner makers require it, and it also helps the draft. Our pros follow the liner's listing and name the insulation on your quote.

Why is my water heater flue crumbling?

It may be too big for the water heater, especially after a furnace change, so the exhaust condenses inside. A liner sized to the water heater stops it. Talk to us about it in Williston Highlands at (352) 675-6366.
