If you are installing a gas burner or oil-fired central heating, yes. If your chimney is old or if the flue lining (cement) is damaged then probably.

There should be a clay liner already in place, but the age of the home and an inspection of the condition of the existing liner and mortar joints will determine if you need an alternate liner installed.

The liner prevents embers from getting through cracks in the masonry into your roof or framing. Given a fairly wide range of conditions, your home can be engulfed in flames in a matter of minutes if this happens.
