Property owners may want to consider using replacement chimney liners if they choose to install a new furnace.
If residents do not implement a new chimney liner to their flue accessories when a furnace is replaced, then they could be in danger of carbon monoxide accumulations.
This can occur when a new furnace is vented via an outside wall instead of through a chimney, which may prevent a draft from being established and can lead to a build-up of carbon monoxide around the water heater exhaust.
In order to combat the issue, homeowners may want to install a replacement liner that can allow the chimney to draft effectively.
Another hazard that can be encountered by people who do not install a liner is condensation build-up, which may trigger aesthetic or structural chimney damage.
It is helpful for residents to monitor the condition of their chimneys regularly, as doing so can prevent many potential dangers.
