Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

If your chimney doesn't have a damper, you are reducing your home's energy efficiency while allowing drafts, debris, and even animals to enter your home. Remember, installing a damper helps regulate airflow, keeping warm air inside during winter and preventing cooled air from escaping in the summer. It also acts as a barrier to keep out moisture and critters.

With regular maintenance, a brick chimney can last 50 to 100 years. However, the various parts of the chimney—including the liner, mortar, and flashing—tend to have shorter lifespans. For example, most chimney liners last between 15 and 25 years. Meanwhile, mortar lasts 20 to 30 years before it requires repointing or tuckpointing.

Your chimney comes with dampers, which are similar to air vents. Dampers are metal plates that allow hot air and smoke to flow from the fireplace up your chimney and out of your home. When you close the damper, it prevents cool air from getting into your home. This is why you’ll want to check to make sure your damper is open before starting your fireplace and you want to ensure it’s closed after the fire goes out. You can open and close them via an external knob, pull chain, or lever. 

A 40-pound bag of wood pellets can provide a solid 24 hours or so of burn time, though the exact length may vary. If you’re using your pellet stove as an exclusive heat source during the winter, you’ll need an estimated 100 to 150 of those 40-pound bags, depending on how hot you like to keep your home, its size, the climate, and other factors.

Gas fireplaces offer efficient heating, low maintenance, and easy ignition with remote control options.
