Chimney Damper

Chimney Damper

Install and repair chimney dampers to control airflow, improve energy efficiency, and prevent heat loss.

Chimney Damper focuses on one of the most essential components of any fireplace system — the damper. This level/service/training teaches how to install, adjust, and repair both traditional throat dampers and modern top-sealing dampers.

A properly functioning damper regulates airflow, prevents drafts, improves energy efficiency, and keeps out rain, debris, and animals when the fireplace is not in use. You'll learn to diagnose common issues like warping, corrosion, and stuck mechanisms, and ensure safe, smooth operation in all seasons.

Objectives & Skills Covered:

• Understand types of dampers: throat vs. top-sealing

• Inspect damper functionality and diagnose failures

• Perform installations, replacements, and repairs

• Improve airflow control and energy efficiency

• Ensure chimney safety and proper sealing when not in use

Whether you're sealing out the cold or venting smoke during use,
the damper is your fireplace’s control valve—master it for safety and comfort.
