Additionally, the hardest part about relining your chimney is fitting the liner. Always remember that you need to properly size the liner in order for the chimney to draft properly. Remember that there will be an extra inch or so around the liner due to the insulation. Insulation is extremely important and actually helps to reduce creosote build up by keeping the chimney liner warmer. Liner kits vary in price based on the diameter and length of the liner, but a basic, UL listed 6″ diameter 20′ long chimney liner kit, complete with connector pipe, tee end cap, and top kit can be anywhere from $400 – $600. Chimney liner insulation kits, complete with all of the supplies needed to properly wrap your chimney liner pipe in insulation, can run between $200-300.

You need to be absolutely sure you have enough manpower to handle this large, sometimes heavy liner or else accidents can happen
