Tradesmen must ensure that homeowners realise that wood-burning fireplace inserts are a necessity.According to the Jayleen9723893 blog, domestic customers buying flue accessories should also invest in a fireplace insert to prevent creosote building up and blocking the chimney.
Those who have purchased flue liners for woodburners must also get a connector which will link the appliance outlet and the liner itself.
"This sends the smoke and gases up and out of the chimney more directly, minimising combustible deposits that condense in the fireplace," the blog added.
It is also worth tradesmen pointing out that inserts can be extremely heavy and installing them can be a tricky task which is best left up to an experienced professional.
According to an entry on the Ask the Chimney Sweep blog, some homeowners believe that fitting the chimney liner themselves will save them significant amounts of money.
However, the problem is that installing them is a tough job and any mistakes could see consumers having to shell out more on a new one.
