Liners and the damper
Wondering what happens to the damper when a liner goes in? For an insert, the liner connects straight to the insert's outlet and runs through the damper opening, so the old damper may be removed or fixed open. For an open fireplace, the liner connects above the damper.
Liner installation can affect the existing throat damper. If it must be altered, our specialists explain why and how the installation will preserve the required venting. A top damper is an option only for a compatible fireplace and fuel; an insert may have different requirements. Discuss the proposed arrangement in Yankeetown at (352) 675-6366.

What's Included

- Flues proven with a test piece first
- Insulation wrapped to the liner's listing
- Tees and cleanout caps at the base
- Wood inserts connected to full-length liners
Local Conditions
Crowns under liner plates on the coast
A relined chimney in Yankeetown depends on the crown under its top plate. Near the coast, steel in an old crown can rust and crack the concrete, and water getting in around the plate can run down around the liner inside the old flue. Our specialists check the crown before fitting the plate and price any crown repair separately, so the new liner isn't sitting on a failing top.
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.

The catch with oval liners
When a round liner is too big for a narrow rectangular flue, it can be pressed into an oval. But ovalizing changes the liner's area, and a liner that has lost too much area can't carry the appliance's exhaust.
Liner makers publish how much ovalizing their product allows. Our pros compare the oval size against the appliance's needs before choosing it. If an oval won't keep enough area, the options include a smaller appliance or removing the old tile to make room for a round liner.
You'll see the sizes and the reasoning on the quote, and no liner is forced into a flue that can't take it.
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.
One appliance per flue
Gas appliance makers generally don't allow their vents to connect into a chimney flue serving a wood-burning appliance, and each appliance is meant to have its own flue. Sharing a flue between a fireplace and a furnace can send exhaust where it doesn't belong.
Which appliance uses which flue is the first thing to sort out. Where two appliances share one, our specialists plan separate liners, and in a large enough flue, two liners can run side by side.
Where there's no room for two, you'll hear the options, such as venting one appliance another way, with each priced. Every appliance's flue is labeled on the quote so it's clear which is which.

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.
Do you run the gas line on a conversion?
No, the gas line is a gas contractor's work. Our specialists handle the liner and venting, and your quote says who handles each part.
