A chimney damper cap will keep your chimney and fireplace or stove dry and keep cold air from sinking down the chimney or warm air from rising out of your home. It will also keep unwanted pests out of your chimney.
Water inside your chimney can cause damage to your chimney flue and fireplace. Wet soot and ashes can begin to produce a bad odor in your home. Moisture can seep into your stove or fireplace and cause corrosion and staining.
An open flue can be a big source of heat loss. Cool air can sink down the chimney and into your home producing a cool draft. Or warm air may rise up the chimney and cool air will come into your home through other openings to replace it.
A chimney damper cap will go a long way in saving you money in energy and costly repairs as well as keep your home more comfortable.
