What is a flue pipe?
A flue pipe is a structure that vents products of combustion (like smoke) from appliances or fireplaces. Think of a flue as a pipe installed to protect you from inhaling hazardous fumes.
Why should I care about the flue pipe?
Since the main purpose of a chimney is to vent the products of combustion from your home, its installation and overall condition is a point of concern each and every winter.
A FLUE PIPE REMOVES CARBON MONOXIDE.
November is National Carbon Monoxide Awareness Month, but the need to monitor carbon monoxide levels in your home are actually all year long- not just in the winter. One of the most important things your chimney needs to remove from your home is carbon monoxide.
Even if you own a new home, you may be at risk. Sometimes, carbon monoxide originates in a furnace or other burning appliance and finds its way into the house due to inadequate venting. Inadequate venting often comes from blocked or damaged pipe.
How often should my flue pipe be inspected?
Atlanta Energy Solutions strongly recommends that all flues and chimneys in use should receive annual inspections and cleaning, if needed.
