How the ENERGY TOP Damper works:

Energy Top Closed Large


ENERGY TOP is attached to the top of the chimney's flue tile liner. In the closed position, above, it is virtually invisible from the ground. Provides a tight, gasketed fit that seals in your heat and seals out weather, insects, birds and animals.


Energy Top Open Large


A slight pull on the chain releases the spring-loaded top into the open position. When open, this damper design is least obstructive to exiting smoke.


Handle Large


ENERGY TOP dampers are EASY to operate! The bracket is attached to the fireplace wall, keeping the handle easily accessible. A slight pull opens and closes the damper.

ENERGY TOP Dampers are made for use only with open burning masonry fireplace chimneys and are NOT suitable for use in these installations:

  • Don't use on chimneys serving vented gas logs. Vented gas logs require the fireplace damper to be removed completely or fixed to a permanently open position; this is to assure that soot, fumes and carbon monoxide do not enter your home.
  • Don't use on chimneys serving wood stoves or other appliances such as inserts, furnaces, etc.

INSTALLATION
Energy Top Dampers can be installed by homeowners who feel comfortable working on a roof, but U.S. Fireplace Products Inc. strongly recommends you use the services of a qualified chimney sweep who can also inspect your chimney and provide other valuable home safety services.
