It starts where the masonry part of the chimney ends at the very top and domes upward toward the flue opening. A chimney cap sits on top of the crown over the flue. It is usually made of metal and allows smoke to escape without letting in rainwater.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth capping a chimney?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s worth capping a chimney. Here are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-reasons-install-chimney-cap.htm">reasons to install a chimney cap</a>:</p><ul><li><p>Keep out rain, snow, wildlife, and other debris</p></li><li><p>Help prevent chimney fires</p></li><li><p>Reduce your chimney&rsquo;s exposure to moisture</p></li><li><p>Maintain your chimney flue liner</p></li><li><p>Help reduce energy bills by helping regulate your home&rsquo;s temperature</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Does a gas fireplace need a chimney?

• <div><p>Not all gas fireplaces need a chimney. If you install a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-cons-ventless-gas-fireplaces.htm">ventless gas fireplace</a>, it will release low levels of combustion byproducts back into your living space (instead of pushing them outside through a chimney or vent). Ventless fireplaces burn fuel efficiently, so the emissions are minimal&mdash;but they could bother people with allergies or respiratory issues.</p></div>

Q: Is there a universal remote for a gas fireplace?

• <div><p>There is no universal remote that will work for all gas fireplaces or electric models. That&rsquo;s because different remotes are designed to work with specific fireplace wiring, so some remotes may only work for on/off functions, while others work with fireplaces that have extra settings, such as timers or programmable thermostats. If you need a new remote, ensure the replacement is compatible with your specific fireplace model.</p></div>

Q: Can you close up instead of demolishing a chimney?

• <div><p>You can close up a chimney instead of demolishing it. Homeowners often go this route because the cost of removing a chimney, especially a structurally important chimney, can be expensive.</p><p>Properly closing up a chimney involves closing and sealing the damper, installing a chimney cap damper, and sealing the fireplace opening with a door or bricks. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-it-get-my-chimney-sealed-and-capped.htm">cost to seal and cap a chimney</a> is around <b>$500 to $650</b>&mdash;significantly less than the average chimney removal cost. </p></div>

It is usually made of metal and allows smoke to escape without letting in rainwater.

Yes, it’s worth capping a chimney. Here are several reasons to install a chimney cap:

Keep out rain, snow, wildlife, and other debris
Help prevent chimney fires
Reduce your chimney’s exposure to moisture
Maintain your chimney flue liner
