Top Damper Cap in North New Jersey

Top Damper Cap in North New Jersey

A top damper cap does double duty. It seals the top of the flue like a lid when the fireplace is not in use, and it works as a rain cap with a built in spark arrestor when it is.

The energy savings are the part people notice most. A traditional throat damper leaks a surprising amount of heated and cooled air. A top sealing damper closes tight and keeps that comfort, and money, inside your home.

Why it matters in North New Jersey

Old throat dampers rust, warp and never seal fully, which quietly drives up heating bills all winter in drafty North Jersey homes. A top sealing damper cap fixes that at the source and usually pays for itself in comfort and lower energy costs.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a regular cap?
A regular cap only keeps out weather and animals. A top damper cap does that and also seals the flue airtight when the fireplace is closed, saving energy.
Can I operate it myself?
Yes. It opens and closes with a simple cable control mounted inside the firebox.
Does it help with fireplace odors?
It does. By sealing the flue when the fireplace is idle, it keeps outside air and chimney odors from drifting into the room.
