Understand the work
A chimney liner helps vent combustion products within a suitable flue system. The correct type and size depend on the appliance, fuel, chimney dimensions and applicable requirements. Liner replacement is a significant project, so ask the contractor to explain the diagnosis and why the proposed product fits your system.
A written proposal should identify the liner material, size, insulation where required, connections, termination, access work and any masonry changes. Ask what inspection, testing or photographs you will receive after installation and keep the product and warranty information.
Use the same description with more than one chimney sweep contractor or company. Ask for the scope and any exclusions in writing before comparing prices.
