Did you know your fireplace could be costing you money by letting heated or cooled air escape? If you’ve noticed drafts, fluctuating room temperatures, or higher energy bills, your chimney damper may be the culprit.

Traditional throat dampers, typically made of metal, sit just above the fireplace and are prone to rust, creosote buildup, and poor sealing. Even when closed, they allow outside air to seep in and conditioned air to escape, leading to energy waste. The solution? A top-sealing damper, which provides an airtight seal at the top of your chimney, keeping your home more energy-efficient and comfortable year-round.

Unlike throat dampers, top-sealing dampers are installed at the very top of the chimney flue, similar to a chimney cap. When closed, they create a tight seal with a rubberized gasket, offering several benefits:

✅ Prevents Energy Loss – Stops heated or cooled air from escaping through the chimney.
✅ Blocks Downdrafts – Eliminates cold air from entering your home.
✅ Keeps Out Moisture & Debris – Protects against rain, snow, and animals.
✅ Rust-Free & Long-Lasting – No metal-on-metal components to corrode or get stuck.
