Homeowners often take for granted the crucial components of homes that keep us safe and comfortable. One such component is the chimney liner, an essential part of any chimney system that ensures the efficient and safe operation of your fireplace or heating appliance.
At 2nd Generation Chimneys, we are dedicated to educating our customers about the importance of chimney liners and providing top-notch chimney liner installation and repair services. In this post, we will explore what chimney liners are, the different types available, and why they are a cost-effective solution for maintaining your chimney.
When you use your chimney, the smoke and soot it produces are going to go up and out of your home through your chimney, if all is well inside of the said chimney. You can usually tell when something is wrong within your chimney because of cold drafts or smoke entering your home rather than going outside where it belongs.
Nobody expects you to be an expert on your chimney and all of the different materials and components that it uses in order to safely and effectively vent smoke and combustion gases out of your home. If you were an expert, after all, it wouldn’t exactly be great for our business! That being said, we do believe that it is in every homeowner’s best interest to have a basic idea of how their chimney works (provided that they’re using a fireplace, of course).
