Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Chimney Installation Code and Safety Guidelines
The chimney installation guidelines are divided into two main categories:
  • The tested and the certified ones
  • The non-tested ones
The tested ones meet the safety guidelines and the tests determine minimum faulty installations. The is=nstallation information can also be obtained from the information manuals from the manufacturer.

The second group belongs from the non-tested category. These include the old chimneys and stoves which have been built by small and insignificant welding shops. Customers are strictly advised not to use such appliance as this may be fatal. Also, the techniques used in these chimneys are much inferior compared to the ones used in modern days.

Besides, it is mandatory to check if separate permission is required from municipal corporation before construction of a chimney. The insurance agent in charge of the insurance of your premises must be contacted to check if the chimney installation will affect the policy as a whole. Just install the chimney cap in order to keep leaves, animals, or unwanted water out from chimney and fireplace. Such problem, all along with issue of the animal invaders, are solved easily.

Installing Inserts and Woodstoves

There is the romance attached to the wood stoves that people do not feel for the gas and oil furnaces. Reasons include aesthetics, economics, environmental concerns and efficiency. Today, the wood stoves give homeowners promise of the heating system, which is independent of the local utilities, and lure of the cozy evenings that are cheered by flickering flames.

Stoves and Inserts Linked to the Fireplaces: Different Equation

While installing insert in the fireplace size of the insert's firebox is much smaller than masonry firebox, thus existing masonry flue might be disproportionately large. Chimney draft is made like the tornado, when warm front meets the cold front. Venting in oversized flue is just like pouring cup of warm water in sink full of the cold water. Cooler temperature causes smoke to linger as well as drop below dew point & deposit huge quantities of the creosote on chimney walls. The creosote is black or brown combustible deposit made when the smoke condenses. The creosote has to get removed and monitored to help to reduce risk of the chimney fire. The smoke condenses inside the firebox and the smoke chamber and might produce the ceramic like glaze of the condensed creosote that is difficult, hazardous, and costly to clean and damages the masonry materials through corrosive action of the acids it has. From today's standards installation of the hearth stove and insert where connector pipe doesn't extend to the first tile isn't acceptable even though manufacturer's instructions do not need it. Best installation choice is installation of stainless steel liner at top of your stove to top of chimney. Such method gives most efficiency & is simple to inspect and sweep.

Operation and Maintenance

The approved woodstove to fireplace installation can help to assure the safety. The annual inspections & sweeping of the systems by Certified Chimney Sweep can enhance the safety and efficiency.
