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.

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.
