Why most dampers cost you money every month on your energy bill
- Traditional dampers are located in the "throat" of a fireplace just above the firebox.
- They are typically a cast iron plate mounted in an metal frame
- The cast iron dampers do not seal well and allow conditioned air to escape even when they are fully closed.
- Studies have shown that even a new throat style damper can leak $200 worth of energy per year.
- Imagine how much a warped, rusted out damper can cost you

Top-Sealing Dampers
A device installed at the top of a chimney for the purpose of sealing the flue shut when the fireplace is not in use. They are often used as replacements for throat dampers that are installed just above the firebox when a masonry chimney is built. Lyemance and Lock-Top top-sealing dampers are as much as 90% more efficient than throat dampers because they provide a silicone rubber gasket seal rather than metal to metal.
