Ensuring Fireplace Safety and Efficiency: Checking Your Damper's Status

Info

Ensuring the safety and energy efficiency of your home is a top priority, and one often overlooked aspect is the proper functioning of your fireplace damper.

The fireplace damper is a critical component that regulates the flow of air in and out of your chimney, and it's essential to ensure it's properly closed when not in use.

When the damper is closed, it prevents the warm air from your home from escaping up the chimney, which can significantly improve your home's energy efficiency.

Conversely, an open damper can allow cold air to enter your home, leading to higher heating costs and compromised comfort.

To determine if your fireplace damper is closed, start by locating the damper control.

This is typically a metal lever or handle located inside the fireplace, near the smoke shelf or at the base of the chimney.

Gently push or pull the damper control to see if it moves freely. - https://ultimatefireplace.com/blog/how-to-know-if-your-fireplace-damper-is-closed/?unique_id_41j0scqo
