Dampers control airflow and smoke through the chimney flue.
For safety reasons, most fireplaces have dampers to allow smoke, soot, and gases to escape out of the chimney in your Denver home. When a fireplace damper is closed, it also prevents cold air from entering the chimney.
If you have an old or significantly aging fireplace damper in your Denver home, it could be costing you money!
Over time, the seal of the damper can become compromised, allowing warm air to escape from your home and resulting in cold drafts. Top-sealing dampers can resolve this problem, as they are securely fastened at the top of your chimney to keep both hot and cold air out. Unlike traditional dampers, top-sealing dampers feature an airtight seal and are constructed with stronger, more durable materials, reducing the risk of breakage. Most top-sealing dampers come with a stainless steel or steel-cast aluminum cap, preventing rust and corrosion. Additionally, these dampers keep excess moisture out of your chimney and prevent infestations.
