Installation of Metal
Chimneys and Stainless Steel Liners: We install Metal Chimneys and Stainless Steel or Aluminum Liners for all types of appliances. Metal chimneys are different from chimney liners, and both are different from stove pipe. The type of chimney or liner, size etc. depends on the type of appliance being used, the existing chimney, location of appliance, number of appliances in the chimney and height of chimney.
Cracks and gaps can allow fire to spread from the chimney through to the structure of your home. In the case of an oil chimney, even the smallest cracks can allow carbon monoxide back into your home. That is why any liner with cracks or gaps in it needs to be repaired, per National Fire Code. The reason we will not use poured liners is because of their failure rate. Below is one photo we took at our customer's home. For more photos of failed installations click here.
This photo shows an off-center poured liner. The only "cure" was to take down the chimney.
