Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Proper Chimney Installations
A home heating system consists of several parts. One of the most important for the proper functioning of the system is a chimney that creates intake for combustion and flue gas. There are different types of chimneys available on the market, made of different materials, different pipe diameters, shapes, heights, used insulation materials, etc., and all that will determine chimney price.

It is important to consult a professional to determine what the right chimney is (size and type) for your heating system. With the wide variety of modern materials comes a larger selection of chimneys. Chimney manufacture has become so progressive that ceramic and non-corrosive steel materials are used, and in the last few years we have seen that stainless steel chimneys are becoming more and more popular.

Currently, gas is the primary heating mode in larger urban areas, and this leads to strong condensation in the smoke pipe. We have to take in consideration that chimneys these days are under a lot of pressure because stoves release smoke gas of low temperature that make it more difficult for the chimney to reach its operating temperature. A proper modern chimney is the one that can easily heat up and cool down, and as such is completely impermeable and condensation resistant. In order to achieve this, modern chimneys are most often made of stainless steel. Pipe made of this material is gas impermeable, weights little, is of appropriate size and with a perfectly round diameter; it has a smooth non-porous surface and enables simple manufacture and installation. Besides, stainless steel chimneys are not sensitive to contraction and expansion of material and offer a 10-year guarantee.

What to Take into Consideration When Installing a Chimney
  • Chimney location - Chimney location is determined by considering where your boiler or furnace is positioned. If it is possible, it is best to locate the chimney in the building.
  • Chimney height – A chimney has two heights. First height, also called total height, is measured from the floor to the top of the chimney. More important is the second one, functional or effective chimney height. This is measured from where the chimney is attached to the furnace and the top of the chimney. The height of the chimney depends on several factors: type of furnace, fuel in use, height of the roof, roof slope, etc. Basically, it can be said that chimneys have to be at least 4 meters high. Chimney height depends of the height and slope of the roof, type of the furnace and type of the fuel.
  • Stainless steel chimney - This material is a mixture of steel, chrome, molybdenum, titanium, nickel and several other compounds. This chimney can be used for both liquid and solid fuels. This chimney is an excellent choice: it is rigid, very resistant to high temperature and big temperature variations, corrosive resistant, acid resistant, it can be recycled and it is also quite aesthetic. Stainless steel chimneys are simple and easy to maintain and clean.
  • Chimney installation – in the majority of cases, if there are no unexpected complications, a chimney can be installed or repaired within a day. We would like to recommend that you always consult a professional to install and repair a chimney.
