Chimney Liners and Venting in Clinton Township, NJ
We installed a chimney liner and the venting connections, from the appliance through the chimney, at a Clinton Township home.
Dr. Sweeper has completed a project in Clinton Township, Hunterdon County: a chimney liner installation and the related venting connections, with work from the appliance connection through the chimney system. The project is shown below.
An appliance that vents into a chimney connects through a pipe at the bottom. Getting that connection right is as much a part of the work as the liner itself.

Liners for appliance venting
When a stove, furnace, boiler or other appliance vents into a chimney, the liner has to match its output and its fuel. Appliances differ: some produce hot exhaust, others cool and moist exhaust, which a masonry flue is not always suited to handle. A liner sized and rated for the appliance addresses that.
The details come from the appliance's installation instructions. A liner is more than a tube; the connection from the appliance, the support at the bottom and the termination at the top all form part of one system. See chimney liners, flue versus liner, liner sizing basics and the Clinton Township project.
Before you buy
Questions to ask before a liner quote
A liner quote should say what it covers. Ask what material and size the liner is, whether it is insulated, how it connects to the appliance, how it is supported and what finishes it at the top. Ask whether the appliance's installation instructions were used to select it, and whether a chimney inspection came first.
These are general questions and apply to any contractor. A clear answer to each is a good sign.
