When should chimney removal be planned?

When considering converting an oil heating system to an electric system, the question of chimney removal often arises. The chimney is an essential component of the oil heating system, but it becomes useless once the system has been converted to electricity. Here are some important points to consider regarding chimney removal:

  • 1. Chimney Inspection: Before planning chimney removal, it is recommended to have it inspected by a professional. This will verify its condition and ensure it can be removed safely.
  • 2. Completing the Conversion Work: It is recommended to first convert the oil heating system to an electric system before considering chimney removal. Once the conversion is complete, the chimney is no longer in use and can be removed.
  • 3. Aesthetic Considerations: Removing the chimney can impact the aesthetics of the home. It is therefore important to consider how best to integrate this modification into the overall architecture of the building.

    • In conclusion, chimney removal can be planned once the conversion from oil to electric heating is complete and the chimney is no longer needed. It is recommended to hire qualified professionals to carry out this work to ensure safety and compliance with current regulations.
