I own a home that be built in 1890 so my chimney have no liner.... what should I do please help me!!!


Answers:    A chimney liner is a flexible metal insert that go inside an existing chimney and does exactly as its name implys, lines the chimney. This can be an alternate method of vent an appliance without have to rebuild the existing chimney.
Chimney pipe is straight pieces of stuff that when joined together will form a vent. They can be single wall, double wall, or triple wall, depending on where on earth they are to be installed.
They both do the same point, just different installation procedures.
The plus of one over the other would be the proper venting of the appliance and the cost.
You might want to own your chimney inspected to see if it is structurally sound and competent to work for whatever situation you stipulation it for.
Pipe is single walled.
Chimney liner is double walled, and insulates the heat better.

A lot of attic fires happen because of poorly insulated chimneys .
use a chimney cleaning co. to install a stainless steel liner it is a cut to fit liner that has rock wool insulation surrounded by stainless steel chicken telecommunication it is tied into the damper at the bottom and is sealed at the top of the chimney next to a cap. This is expensive but it is worth it for your sanctuary.
