- Venting and Exhaust Fans
Oil-Fired Generator Chimney Installation
A dedicated stainless steel chimney for an oil-fired generator, routed up the exterior wall and terminated above the roofline.
We raise the height of commercial chimneys and stacks to correct weak draft, meet clearance and code, and stop downdraft caused by surrounding taller buildings. One team scopes, engineers, installs, and warranties the work for property managers, building owners, and contractors across the five boroughs and Long Island.
OVERVIEW
A commercial chimney extension increases the vertical height of a stack or flue so it clears the roofline, adjacent structures, and code required termination points. The added height strengthens natural draft, keeps boilers and exhaust equipment venting cleanly, and brings a short or noncompliant stack up to a standard that passes inspection. We size every chimney height extension to your building using measured field data, not assumptions.
As a commercial chimney contractor, we keep one accountable team on the project from the first assessment through warranty registration. We prepare engineered scope and drawings where the work requires them, manage permitting and code documentation, and install in occupied buildings with minimal downtime. When we subcontract into a larger scope, we coordinate directly with general contractors and mechanical contractors, and we back the systems we install with a lifetime warranty.
WHEN YOU NEED IT
A stack that terminates too low cannot pull combustion byproducts up and out reliably. Raising the height increases natural draft and restores steady venting for the appliances tied to it.
In dense NYC blocks and high rise settings, wind pressure off adjacent towers pushes air back down a stack. Extending the termination point above that pressure zone stops the reversal.
Commercial flues must terminate at the minimum height above the roof and above nearby structures within the governing clearance rules. An extension brings a noncompliant stack up to code so it clears inspection.
When flue gases spill back into apartments, offices, or common areas, occupants are exposed to smoke and carbon monoxide risk. An extension reestablishes the pressure difference that keeps gases moving out.
A boiler conversion, a capacity increase, or a relocated appliance changes the draft the stack must produce. Added height corrects the shortfall and matches the stack to the new load.
OUR PROCESS
We inspect the existing stack, roofline, and surrounding structures, then take field measurements to determine the exact height and configuration your building requires.
We prepare engineered drawings and a fixed scope, return a written proposal within 48 hours, and confirm materials, lead time, and access requirements.
We handle permitting support and code documentation, then schedule the work around tenants and building operations.
We set scaffolding as needed and install the extension in occupied buildings with minimal downtime, coordinating around tenants and daily operations.
We verify draft, test the completed stack, register the lifetime warranty, and issue a certificate of cleanliness and functionality for your records.
COMPLIANCE
PERMITS
Permitting support and engineered drawings prepared for submission and approval.
CODE
Code documentation covering termination height and required clearances above the roof and adjacent structures.
CERTIFICATE
Certificate of cleanliness and functionality issued on completion for your compliance and insurance files.
WHY US
Assessment, engineering, installation, and warranty registration stay with a single team, so responsibility never shifts between vendors.
We diagnose the cause of poor draft or downdraft before we size the extension, so the added height solves the problem the first time.
Documentation for procurement and risk review is ready up front, before work begins.
We install in live buildings with minimal downtime and coordinate around tenants and operations.
We subcontract cleanly for general contractors and mechanical contractors, with clear scope, lead times, and reporting.
A written, engineered proposal fast, with 24/7 emergency service when a stack fails.
WHO WE SERVE
We extend and correct stacks for the full range of commercial and institutional properties, working directly with owners, property managers, facility engineers, and the contractors who serve them.
Serving Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Staten Island, and Long Island.
OUR WORK
A dedicated stainless steel chimney for an oil-fired generator, routed up the exterior wall and terminated above the roofline.
A severely deteriorated rooftop chimney stack was dismantled to a sound base and rebuilt in new red brick, with a new crown and a stainless steel cap.
A failing chimney with crumbling mortar, damaged brick and a broken crown, fully dismantled and rebuilt with a new concrete crown, cap and weather-sealed base.
REVIEWS
FAQ
We take field measurements of the existing stack, roofline, and adjacent structures, then size the extension to meet the required termination height and clearances for your building.
Yes. We provide permitting support and engineered drawings, and we deliver the code documentation that inspectors and insurers require.
Yes. We install in live buildings with minimal downtime, set scaffolding as needed, and coordinate around tenants and operations.
In many cases, added height restores the natural draft a boiler stack needs, especially after a conversion or capacity increase. We confirm the cause during assessment before proposing a scope.
Often, yes. Extending the termination point above the pressure zone created by adjacent towers stops the air from reversing back down the stack. We verify the condition on site first.
Yes. We subcontract for general contractors and mechanical contractors with clear scope, lead times, and reporting.
We return an engineered proposal within 48 hours and offer 24/7 emergency service when a stack has failed.
Send us your building details and we will assess the stack, size the extension, and return a written proposal within 48 hours. One team from quote through warranty.
MANUFACTURING
Because we manufacture our own UL Listed stainless steel pipe and fittings, the height sections your extension needs come from our own shop rather than a distributor queue. For your project that means the stack is engineered, built, and installed by one team, with materials matched to your existing chimney and the loads it carries.
