Chimney Installation
New chimney system or a major component? We install liners, caps, crowns and connections correctly — and to code.
Whether you're adding a chimney system for a new appliance, replacing failed components, or bringing an older chimney up to a safe, working standard, installation is about getting the whole system right: the liner sized to the appliance, a sound crown and cap on top, and correct, safe connections throughout.
Frank & Sons handles chimney installation across Greater Pittsburgh — from full liner systems for new wood and gas appliances to the caps, crowns, and dampers that complete a chimney. Every installation is done to code, because with venting and combustion, correct installation is a safety matter, not a formality.
When you need chimney installation
- Installing a new stove, insert, or appliance that needs proper venting.
- An older chimney that needs a modern liner system.
- Replacing multiple failed components at once.
- Adding a cap, crown, or damper to complete a chimney.
- Bringing an unlined or non-compliant chimney up to standard.
How we install chimney systems
We start with what the appliance and home actually require, then size and install the liner, connect it correctly, and finish the top with a proper crown and cap. Correct liner sizing is central — an oversized liner drafts poorly, an undersized one is unsafe — so we match it precisely to the appliance and fuel.
Because a chimney is a system, we make sure the parts work together: liner, connections, crown, cap, and damper. The result is a chimney that vents safely and reliably and protects both the masonry and your home from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on your needs, but a full installation typically includes a correctly sized liner, safe connections to the appliance, and a sound crown and cap on top. We handle the complete system.
A liner that's too large drafts poorly; one that's too small is unsafe. Sizing the liner precisely to the appliance and fuel is essential for safe, efficient venting.
