Overview
This course features a combination of classroom and hands-on activities. The hands-on learning will go into detail on installing liners for fireplaces, freestanding appliances, and inserts. Learn what you should and should not do while installing liners to those appliances based on the manufacturer’s installation instructions, and codes and standards.

We will be demonstrating flue tile removal, performing video inspections for inspection reports, crown repair methods, and so much more. In the classroom, the learning will cover the levels of inspection and how to use chimney math to determine what the best size liner is for your installation - be it a fireplace, woodstove, insert, pellet, gas, or oil appliance.

We will also investigate draft and pressure issues, and what can be done to improve or remedy the system’s shortcomings. This is a great opportunity for both new and seasoned technicians to see a fresh or different perspective on relining chimneys.
