The Importance of Chimney Liners

Chimney liners are the passageway in the fireplace or furnace flue through which gases (carbon monoxide) and smoke travel out of your home. Chimney liners protect your family and home from dangerous gases and smoke, so needless to say chimney liners are an essential part of your chimney! We highly recommend having stainless steel chimney liners installed in your chimney.

Below is a list of the advantages of stainless steel chimney liners.

  • Stainless steel chimney liners have a lifetime warranty.
  • Stainless steel chimney liners provide superior fire protection for your home.
  • Meet code requirements for safe operation and resale.
  • Stainless steel chimney liners are one long continuous piece - not sectional (no connectors or fireplace mortar joints to shift or separate like clay tile chimney liners).

Superior Chimney's CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) Certified Chimney Sweeps can provide this chimney service. They are trained, tested, and Nationally Certified to inspect your chimney liners. Call Superior Chimney Services, Corp. today at 877-CHIM-FIX (877-244-6349).

Below is a list of the benefits of chimney caps:

  • A rain cap keeps out rain & snow - eliminating chimney linerSuperior chimney raccoon saturation, frost, & ice formation.
  • Chimney caps keep animals and their nesting out of your chimney.
