Older homes often were built with a fireplace to provide a way to make heat during the cold winter months. Over time people discovered that when heat escapes from the fireplace, it can actually begin to draw heat out of the room in the home. You can convert your existing fireplace by installing fireplace inserts, which offer energy efficient fireplace operation and keeps the heat in your home rather than going out the chimney.

Chimney liners are an essential part of a fireplace or stove chimney construction. The liners can be made out of clay, but over time the clay wears out and needs to be replaced. You can replace broken clay liners with stainless steel liners or even use stainless steel chimney when installing a new chimney. The liner is designed to improve the chimney's draft which is important for the proper burning of different fuels types while removing fumes and gases from the home and retaining heat.

Rigid and Flexible Chimney Liners for Relining Your Chimney

If you have an existing chimney and want to improve the draft, or find it was never installed correctly, you can use new chimney liners to correct these problems. When installing a new liner you will want to obtain the correct size by measuring the inside diameter of your existing flue opening. You can select from rigid liners as well as flexible liners and will need to decide which type will work best for your chimney relining project. You can get both types of liners for your chimney from Copperfield Chimney Supply .

Burning Money
A fire in an open hearth is only 10 percent efficient at best, which means that 90 percent of the heat energy you’ve paid for goes up in smoke. Heated room air is drafted up the chimney as well, so your main heating system actually works harder to keep the house warm. Glass fireplace doors raise the efficiency somewhat but only to about 20 percent.

Wood-Burning Fireplaces
While wood burning is becoming less viable in heavily populated areas, if it’s still your fuel of choice you should invest in an EPA-rated wood stove with a catalytic combustor. And only burn seasoned wood or wood that’s been split and stacked in the sun for about 6 months. Green wood makes for a smoky fire that pollutes more and coats your chimney with resins, which can lead to chimney fires.

Gas-Burning Fireplaces
If you’re tired of shoveling ashes and hauling wood, a gas-burning fireplace insert is a more efficient option that also saves space. A built-in fan distributes heat into the room and a thermostat allows you to set a target temperature. Some models even have a timer so a roaring fire welcomes you when you get up in the morning. One gas fireplace insert can heat a whole small house in all but the coldest weather, which can save you a lot if your main heating system is oil-fired or electric.

Today's gas fireplaces and inserts are 50 to 70 percent more efficient than their 1990s or earlier counterparts, experts say. Besides increased efficiency, newer models offer many more options, including remote-controlled flames that can go from glowing embers to roaring blaze. Particularly popular with bedroom units, timers are available to ignite or extinguish the fire, so users can wake up to a cozy room or put out the fire after they've nodded off to sleep. Besides realistic, wood-like logs, gas fireplaces or inserts can come with glass beads, stones or ceramic pieces for a totally different look. More
