Stop Heat and AC From Escaping Through Your Fireplace
Homeowners spend millions each year caulking, replacing windows & doors, and weather stripping to make their home more energy efficient. However, one of the biggest culprits of energy loss is not so easy to see – the fireplace damper. While a metal damper may work great while it is new, it may become warped over time due to repeated heating and cooling. As the damper becomes warped it can allow warm air to leak out of the fireplace and let cold air in.
The Chimney Balloon™ provides a more effective way to eliminate fireplace drafts. This removable and durable device inflates to fill in all the crevices of the flue a standard damper might not cover. Specially engineered with a 3-ply poly membrane, the Chimney Balloon is resistant to the acidy and abrasive environment of your chimney, yet completely flexible and can stay inflated for years.
Installing Chimney Balloon is simple – it only takes a few minutes and no special tools are required. Chimney Balloon is just as easily deflated and can be reused over and over. And you won’t have to worry if you forget to deflate Chimney Balloon before starting a fire. The Chimney Balloon is made of a heat-reactive material, designed to make the balloon deflate if it is exposed to heat or flame to allow smoke and toxic gases to exit your chimney. Read more
