Battic Door Energy Conservation Products introduces the Fireplace Plug. The Fireplace Plug consists of an inflatable pillow that is installed beneath the damper, preventing air leakage through the chimney.
Fireplaces are the largest intentional opening in the home, costing U.S. families over $10,000,000,000 each year in wasted energy costs.
Like a door or window, fireplaces are openings to the outdoors and should be sealed between uses to prevent the loss of heated and/or cooled air. And like a door or window that uses weatherstripping for a seal, fireplaces should also be weatherstripped. By weatherstripping the fireplace, several benefits are achieved including improved comfort, energy conservation, reduced energy costs, reduced noise and improved indoor air quality.
The Fireplace Plug is easily removed when the fireplace is used then reinstalled after. The plug is quick, clean and easy to install. Installers need only inflate the pillow, insert the pillow and install the supporting tee. The Plug is available in two standard sizes to fit most any fireplace and can be purchased at your local Building Supply Center, or Factory Direct by mail order.
