How do you re-line a furnace chimney?

Answer by  Christian9247 (5042)

This is so not a do-it-yourself job. However if you feel you're Bob Vila, contact your local Home Depot and see if they carry a B Vent. Then you need to measure the depth and length of your chimney to calculate the footage you need for your liner.

This is a job for a Pro, although you could do it yourself, you will need to contact your local supplier and see if they carry a B Vent double wall flue type product. You would need to calculate the lineir footage and then start at the roof pushing each section down the chimney to the furnace timble.

Relining a chimney is done with flexible stainless steel liner and can help prevent fire and carbon monoxide poisoning that could occur with an older furnace.
