At Dave's Chimney Service, we use the Energy Top Damper, a high-quality component designed to improve both energy efficiency and comfort in your home. This damper seals shut tightly like a refrigerator door when your fireplace is not in use, preventing warm air from escaping and cold air from entering. When you light a fire, the damper opens to allow smoke and gases to exit through the chimney. The Energy Top Damper not only helps maintain a comfortable temperature in your home but also improves energy efficiency. Regular inspections and maintenance are recommended to ensure the damper continues to work optimally and efficiently.

A chimney damper is a device that controls airflow in your chimney, helping to regulate the flow of air, heat, and smoke. It helps prevent drafts and moisture from entering your home.
A chimney damper is essential for energy efficiency, reducing heating costs, preventing moisture damage, and keeping animals and debris out of your chimney.
There are two main types: throat dampers, which are located inside the chimney, and energy-top dampers, which are installed at the chimney’s top. Both serve to control airflow and protect your chimney from outside elements.
If you notice cold drafts, high energy bills, difficulty starting or maintaining a fire, or a wet or damaged chimney, your damper may not be functioning correctly.
A broken or malfunctioning damper can lead to energy loss, increased heating costs, drafts, water damage, and reduced chimney efficiency.
It’s recommended to inspect your damper at least once a year, preferably during your regular chimney inspection, to ensure it’s working properly and is clean. A properly functioning damper is essential for energy efficiency and safety. At Dave’s Chimney Service, we offer thorough inspections and can address any damper-related concerns you may have. Call us today to schedule your yearly inspection and ensure your chimney and damper are operating at their best!
Damper repairs are best left to professionals. Attempting DIY (do it yourself) repairs can lead to further damage or pose a risk to your chimney’s overall functionality, and you could also injure yourself in the process. To ensure the safety and efficiency of your chimney system, it’s always best to call in a certified professional like Dave’s Chimney Service for any damper-related issues.
