Chimney Caps and Lock Top Dampers
Installation and Service
Chimney caps and lock-top dampers are essential additions for homeowners looking to protect and enhance their fireplace systems. A chimney cap prevents rain, snow, and debris from entering the chimney, reducing the risk of moisture damage and blockages that could lead to dangerous conditions like chimney fires. It also keeps animals from nesting inside, which can cause obstructions and unpleasant odors.
Lock-top dampers, on the other hand, provide an airtight seal at the top of the chimney, helping to improve home energy efficiency. Unlike traditional throat dampers, which often leak, a lock-top damper seals tightly, preventing heat from escaping in the winter and cool air from leaking out in the summer. Together, these components can significantly reduce energy costs, protect the chimney, and ensure a safer, more efficient fireplace.
