The liner work behind a sound flue in Shady Banks
Gas-fired appliances and the fuel gas chapter
When a gas-fired appliance vents into a masonry chimney, the Florida Fuel Gas Code chapter on chimneys and vents applies. It accepts clay lining, a lining system listed to the chimney liner standard, or other approved material. It also recognizes liners listed for gas service only, which carry their own labels.
Tell us the fuel and the appliance type before we plan the liner. A liner chosen for solid fuel is not automatically right for a gas-fired appliance, or the reverse. The appliance manual and the liner listing together decide it, and we show both in the proposal.
Why liner size affects draft
Flue gases rise because they are warmer than the air outside. A flue far larger than the appliance needs can let those gases cool and slow on the way up. Liner makers note that correct sizing matters most where flue gases run cool.
This is why an oversized liner is not a safety margin. We size to the appliance instructions and the listing, not to the largest pipe that fits. The estimate names the size and the reason for it, so it can be checked against the manual.
Reading the appliance rating plate
Most appliances carry a label with the model, the fuel and the venting type. That label is where liner sizing and material choices begin. It may sit on the back, under a trim piece or inside a door.
If you can see it without moving anything, read it to us when you call or keep it ready for the visit. Do not open panels or shift a hot or connected unit to reach it. We can locate it during the inspection if it is hard to see.
Where the liner size appears in the estimate
A relining estimate should state the liner size, not only the product name. The size is what connects the liner to the appliance manual and to the code rule on flue area. Without it, two quotes cannot be compared fairly.
Our estimate lists the size and the reason for it. If a different size would fit the passage more easily, we explain why we did not choose it. You can check the figure against the appliance manual yourself. A missing size is a reasonable thing to ask any company about.

Questions to settle before relining
How do you decide what size liner my chimney needs?
We start from the appliance manual, which states the flue size the appliance requires, and the code rule that a flue may not be smaller than the appliance connector. Then we check whether the passage can take that size along its whole route.
Why does the estimate list cleaning separately from the liner?
Liner makers ask for the existing flue to be inspected and cleaned before relining, and the effort varies from chimney to chimney. Listing it separately shows you what the preparation involves and what it adds to the total.
What warranty applies to a new chimney liner?
Two apply. The liner maker's product warranty has its own conditions, often including maintenance. Our workmanship warranty covers how we installed it. We explain both when we hand over the written record of the work.
