Chimney DAmper installation and repair

CHIMNEY DAMPER INSTALLATION AND REPAIR

Hopefully, your chimney has some type of damper. A damper is a device inside or on top of your chimney that can be closed when your chimney is not in use. Closing your damper stops the heat from your home from going up the chimney, or cold air from outside coming down the chimney. Chimney Works offers throat dampers and top-sealing dampers and damper cap combinations to ensure your home is as efficient as possible.

Throat dampers are hard to see since they are at the very top of your firebox and often covered in soot. This diagram should help.
