Frequently asked questions

What regulations do I need to observe for my existing chimney?

Stricter limits for carbon monoxide and particulate matter emissions have been in force since 1 January 2025. Our experts will check whether your chimney fulfils the current requirements and advise you on possible retrofitting or replacement.

Since January 1, 2025, stricter limits for carbon monoxide and fine particle emissions apply in Germany. This affects not only fireplaces but also the connected chimneys. Our experts check your chimney against the HKI list to determine whether it meets current standards or if retrofitting or renovation is necessary. This ensures your system remains compliant and safe to operate.

The most reliable way is a professional inspection by a certified chimney sweep. They measure exhaust values, check the flue dimensions, and assess the fireplace data. We support you by analyzing your system and providing clear recommendations: retrofit, modernize, or replace.
In many cases, yes – especially with older masonry chimneys lacking modern lining. By installing stainless steel liners, ceramic, or lightweight elements, your chimney can be brought up to today’s standards. We advise whether a retrofit is sufficient or if a complete rebuild is more economical.
Yes, absolutely. Particularly in older buildings in Berlin and Brandenburg, we often use lightweight chimneys that can be installed space-efficiently without major structural work. Alternatively, an external stainless steel chimney can be mounted on the façade.
The duration depends on the type and scope: A stainless steel chimney is usually installed in 1–2 days, while a complete renovation takes 2–4 days. Including planning, permits, and coordination with the chimney sweep, the total project time averages 2–6 weeks.
We work with high-quality stainless steel, ceramic systems, and lightweight chimneys. Stainless steel is durable and flexible, ceramic offers excellent resistance to heat and moisture, and lightweight systems are perfect for retrofits.
Yes. Chimneys are exposed to high stress from exhaust gases, condensation, and weather. Regular inspections and cleanings by a chimney sweep are legally required. Additional minor maintenance helps detect damage early and extend the lifespan of your chimney.
Yes. Even if your home has no existing chimney, a wood stove can be safely operated with a newly installed chimney. Options include external stainless steel chimneys or compact lightweight systems inside the building.
