Chimney Damper Installation
Installing throat and top-sealing dampers that close off the flue to stop heat loss and downdrafts.
Professional Chimney Damper Installation in Asheville & Western NC
A damper is the movable plate that seals your flue when the fireplace isn't in use and opens it back into the draft path when you light a fire. Missing or ill-fitting dampers let conditioned air escape up the chimney year-round and invite cold downdrafts and odors back into the room. Steady Flame installs traditional throat dampers as well as energy-efficient top-sealing dampers that close with a silicone gasket at the very top of the flue.
Picking the Right Damper
We measure the flue and recommend the right style for your chimney, then install the damper with an accessible control and verify it opens fully for safe venting. A top-sealing model in particular can noticeably cut drafts in a leaky older chimney. When you rely on a wood stove or gas fireplace for outage backup heat, a properly operating damper lets you open the flue fully for a clean, safe burn and seal it tight the rest of the year.
