Frequently Asked Questions

Does my chimney need a liner?
If your Cleveland's west side home was built before 1960, it likely has no liner or a deteriorated clay liner. A stainless steel liner is essential for safe operation — it contains combustion gases, prevents carbon monoxide leaks, and protects the masonry from heat and condensation.
What is HeatShield flue resurfacing?
HeatShield is a spray-applied ceramic sealant that fills hairline cracks in clay tile liners without full liner replacement. It's a cost-effective option for Cleveland's west side homeowners whose liner is structurally sound but has minor cracking or spalling.
How long does a stainless steel liner last?
A properly installed stainless steel liner carries a lifetime warranty from most manufacturers and will outlast the chimney itself. Five Star installs UL-listed liners sized correctly for your appliance and fuel type.
I switched from oil to gas heat — do I need a new liner?
Almost certainly yes. Gas appliances produce cooler, wetter flue gases that condense inside an oversized oil-rated liner, causing rapid deterioration. Five Star can size and install the correct liner for your new gas appliance in Cleveland's west side.
How much does chimney liner installation cost in Cleveland's west side?
Stainless steel liner installation in Cleveland's west side typically costs $1,500–$4,000 depending on flue height and liner diameter. HeatShield resurfacing is generally $1,000–$2,500. Five Star provides free estimates with no obligation.
