Chimney Liner Insulation
Chimney liner insulation makes your appliance be as efficient and safe as possible.
If you're relining your chimney, then it is recommended to insulate its liner.
By insulation you assure yourself that it will work more efficiently.
An insulated flue liner has a better draft, stays cleaner longer and allows your appliance to work more efficiently and safely.
Liner insulation will help maintain a better draft by cooling everything in the venting system warm since hot air rises from it.
When you insulate your liner you know you have completed a job that'll pay for itself.
These days liner insulation is cutting edge and can save lots of money on your heating bill.
Liner insulation will increase the temperature of the flue gases which in turn will tend to improve the draw of a chimney since warm air rises.
A chimney with an insulated liner will have many benefits.
The fire will light easily and wood will burn smoothly.
The combustible by-products will stay hot all the way in the liner, rather than cooling and condensing inside the liner and forming creosote.
In spring, when you clean your flue at the end of winter, insulation will make your job easier.
Why insulate a liner? It is strongly recommended to insulate the liner.
When warm gases pass through the cold liner or flue, condensation will form on the interior of the flue or liner.
The result will be the formation of creosote in your liner.
It is highly flammable and may lead to chimney fires and excessive creosote can be very dangerous.
The cooler the chimney, the more creosote sticks to it and vice versa is true also.
To guard against this condensation issue, insulation will keep the liner warmer throughout burn cycles.
Less condensation will form, resulting in less creosote build-up.
When you burn solid fuels such as wood, the moisture formed from burning wood mixes with the creosote and gas rises in the chimney.
When this gas collides with the wall of the appliance it changes the creosote into solid or liquid.
You're not required to insulate your liner if you're venting gas or oil.
It is strongly required when you're venting solid fuels like wood or coal.
A cold chimney top above a warm bottom also leads to downdrafts, difficulty in lighting fire and smoke can enter the building.
The main purpose of liner insulation is to keep your appliance liner warm as well as increase the draft which will have a positive effect on your appliance's efficiency.
