Furnace Liners

Just like a wood or gas fireplace, the flue connected to your furnace needs to be inspected annually, cleaned periodically, and repaired as necessary. Failing to perform these important tasks can lead to various issues, including decreased efficiency and serious safety risks, such as fire hazards and carbon monoxide poisoning. Ensuring the integrity of furnace liners is crucial for extending the life of both your furnace and your heating system. Horizon Chimney Services provides furnace liner inspections, cleaning, relining, and installations throughout eastern MA and RI.

Furnace Liner Cleaning in Wrentham & Hopkinton, MAWhy Your Furnace Flue Needs a Liner

The furnace liner is a vital protective layer within your chimney flue. Its primary purpose is to contain the intense heat generated by your furnace as it burns fuel to warm your home. The high temperatures and corrosive byproducts of combustion can directly impact the chimney structure itself if the liner is damaged. A damaged furnace liner can accelerate masonry deterioration, weaken the chimney structure, and compromise the health and safety of your family.

Signs Your Furnace Liner Needs Repair

The furnace liner is installed in the flue that connects to your furnace. Since this area is hidden from view, it can be challenging for homeowners to inspect the liner themselves. However, there are signs to watch for that indicate your flue liner may be compromised:

  • Cracks or Spalling: Visible cracks or pieces of the liner breaking away are clear signs of damage.
  • Excessive Soot Buildup: While some soot is expected, an unusual or excessive accumulation can indicate a problem with the liner, vent, or appliance.
  • Inefficient Heating: If your furnace seems to be working harder than usual to heat your home, cracks in the liner may be contributing to energy loss.
  • Unusual Odors: A persistent smoky or unusual smell in your home may indicate flammable creosote buildup, a flue blockage, or other problem.

If you notice any of the above signs, call Horizon to schedule a service call immediately.

Red Tag Gas Appliance Service

Has your gas appliance been “red tagged” by EverSource, Rhode Island Energy or another gas company? If so, it requires your immediate attention. A red tag indicates that your gas furnace, boiler, water heater, or other appliance has been disconnected for safety reasons. 

Horizon Chimney Services understands the urgency and potential danger associated with a red-tagged gas appliance. We offer same-day appointments to diagnose and address the issue, and will work to restore the safe and efficient operation of your heating appliance as quickly as possible.
