Chimney Liners questions
Why do I need a liner for a furnace?
Furnace and water heater exhaust is wet and acidic. In an unlined or clay-lined chimney it breaks down the tile and mortar over time. A stainless liner carries it safely out of the house.
Can you install a liner in winter?
Yes. Liners go in all year, and winter is when most of them are installed, since masonry and concrete work waits for warmer weather.
How do I pay?
By check or credit card. Half is due up front for materials when the job is booked, and the rest once the work is done and you’ve approved it.
