Class A Chimney Pipe in Connecticut

A freestanding stove does not need an existing masonry chimney when the building can support a properly designed listed chimney system. ABC Chimney Solutions installs complete Class A chimney systems from the appliance to the termination, including difficult routes through walls, ceilings, attics, roofs and, when a project requires it, even through concrete basement walls.

Designed for the actual building

ABC Chimney Solutions chooses the route that makes the most sense for the appliance, structure, manufacturer requirements and code. The design is not based on an arbitrary rule that the route must always have the fewest elbows; the correct solution depends on the building and the complete venting system.

Complete components

Clearances, ceiling supports, firestop components, wall brackets, roof flashing, storm collars, caps and other listed system parts are installed according to the appliance, chimney manufacturer and applicable requirements.

From planning to operation

ABC Chimney Solutions can also build the hearth protection, help select a suitable stove and complete the surrounding finish work. After the system is installed, the appliance and draft are checked in operation before the job is considered complete.

  • Stainless & cast-in-place
  • Sized to the appliance
  • Class A and B-Vent

Also part of Liners & Venting

A chimney liner is part of the venting system, not just a metal tube dropped inside the chimney. The correct liner depends on the appliance, fuel, BTU input, vent connection, chimney height, existing flue and applicable manufacturer and code requirements. ABC Chimney Solutions evaluates those factors before recommending a liner type or size.

Questions & Answers

Class A Chimney Pipe — frequently asked

What homeowners ask ABC Chimney Solutions most often about class a chimney pipe.

Can you install a wood stove where there is no chimney?

Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions can design and install a complete Class A chimney system for a freestanding stove even when the home does not already have a masonry chimney. Learn more about this service.

Can Class A pipe go through a wall instead of straight through the roof?

Yes, when the approved system and building configuration allow it. ABC Chimney Solutions designs the route according to the stove, listed chimney components, clearances and applicable code requirements. Learn more about this service.

Do you install the flashing, supports and cap too?

Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions installs the required supports, penetration components, flashing, storm collar, cap and other system parts as part of a complete Class A installation. Learn more about this service.

What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by designed for the actual building?

The design is not based on an arbitrary rule that the route must always have the fewest elbows; the correct solution depends on the building and the complete venting system. Learn more about this service.

What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by complete components?

ABC Chimney Solutions works to this on every job. Clearances, ceiling supports, firestop components, wall brackets, roof flashing, storm collars, caps and other listed system parts are installed according to the appliance, chimney manufacturer and applicable requirements. Learn more about this service.

What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by from planning to operation?

ABC Chimney Solutions can also build the hearth protection, help select a suitable stove and complete the surrounding finish work. After the system is installed, the appliance and draft are checked in operation before the job is considered complete. Learn more about this service.

What is Class A chimney pipe?

A listed, insulated chimney system used where there is no masonry chimney, or where a new appliance needs its own chimney. It is a complete system rather than a length of pipe. It is one of the things ABC Chimney Solutions assesses when it looks at class a chimney pipe. Learn more about this service.

Can a stove go in a room with no chimney?

Usually yes. ABC Chimney Solutions installs complete systems from the appliance to the termination, routed through walls, ceilings, attics and roofs, and through concrete basement walls where a project requires it. Learn more about this service.

Does the route need to be straight?

Not necessarily. The correct route is chosen for the appliance, the structure, the manufacturer's requirements and code, rather than by a rule that says fewest elbows always wins. ABC Chimney Solutions can tell you which applies to your chimney when it looks at class a chimney pipe. Learn more about this service.

What else is needed besides the pipe?

Clearances, ceiling supports, firestop components, wall brackets, roof flashing, storm collars and caps are all part of a listed system and are installed to what the appliance and manufacturer require. It is one of the things ABC Chimney Solutions assesses when it looks at class a chimney pipe. Learn more about this service.

Can you build the hearth as well?

Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions can build the hearth protection, help select a suitable stove and complete the surrounding finish work. Learn more about this service.

Is the system checked once installed?

The appliance and draft are checked in operation and the homeowner is shown how to use the system before the job is considered complete. Ask ABC Chimney Solutions about it when you book class a chimney pipe. Learn more about this service.

What does a chimney liner do?

It gives the products of combustion a contained, correctly sized route out of the building, and keeps heat and acidic condensate away from the surrounding masonry. A chimney without a sound liner is passing both into the structure. Ask ABC Chimney Solutions about it when you book class a chimney pipe. Learn more about this service.

How do I know if my liner needs replacing?

Cracked or missing clay tiles, corroded metal, tile fragments turning up in the firebox, a liner that was installed for a different appliance, or a heating change that altered the venting requirement are the usual reasons ABC Chimney Solutions recommends relining. Learn more about this service.

What size liner do I need?

It is determined, not chosen. The appliance rating and outlet, the fuel, the chimney height, the existing flue and the manufacturer's requirements decide it. ABC Chimney Solutions works it out for the specific installation rather than fitting the size that is common. Learn more about this service.

What Homeowners Say

Reviews from the towns we work in

Eight of the several thousand chimneys we have swept, lined and rebuilt across Connecticut.

The inspection found a cracked clay liner two other companies had missed. Relined in stainless the following week and the smoke coming back into the room stopped dead.
Sarah MitchellHomeowner · West Hartford, CT
Open fire had not been swept in six years. They pulled out a shocking amount of creosote, sheeted the whole hearth, and left the room spotless.
Michael TurnerHomeowner · New Haven, CT
Damp was coming through the chimney breast for two winters. They traced it to a failed crown, recast it and waterproofed the brickwork — bone dry since.
Elena RossiHomeowner · Stamford, CT
Flashing had lifted and the damper had seized shut. Both repaired in one visit, and they showed me the before and after photos on the roof.

Full stack rebuild above the roofline on a 1920s house. They matched the original brick and mortar so closely the neighbors asked who did our repointing.
Priya RamanHomeowner · Greenwich, CT
Booked the sweep on Monday, done Tuesday. The photographs and written flue report are more thorough than the survey we paid for when we bought the place.
Tom AlvarezHomeowner · Fairfield, CT
Our wood stove never drew properly. They worked out the flue was oversized for the appliance, fitted an insulated liner, and it lights first time now.
Grace OkaforHomeowner · Simsbury, CT
Needed the chimney looked at fast for a house sale. On the roof the next morning, and I had a clear answer and a price the same afternoon.
