- How can I reduce heat loss through an open fireplace?
Research shows that heat loss through drafty fireplaces will increase your energy bill for heating. Many homeowners have a fireplace that isn't used much, and are taking action to seal them up.
Although most fireplaces have a damper system, they are often hard to operate and not very effective. The perfect solution for this is a chimney top damper, it is installed on the top of the chimney and has a gasketed seal to prevent downdrafting or updrafting. Opening and closing the damper is as easy as pulling a handle inside the fireplace.
Tight fitting Glass doors will also significantly reduce heat loss. While glass doors should be open during fireplace use, closing the doors as the fire dies restricts additional heat loss.
Dampers (both internal & external) should be left open for 24 hours after the fire is out. A combination of top damper and glass door is the most effective for stopping heat loss in a conventional fireplace. - How can I light my Pilot Light?
