Cooler weather means many of us may take advantage of fireplaces to warm our homes. Take the time today to make sure the fireplace damper is properly working and that it can fully open and close with ease. A broken damper that leaves the flue open is like having a small window open in your home all day long. By having it properly closed when not in use, you can save around 8 percent of the heated air from escaping up the flue.
