Q: How can I tell if my chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed?

• <div><p>There are several ways to determine if your chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed. A simple method is to check for airflow by placing your hand near the fireplace opening; if you feel a draft or hear wind whistling, the damper is open. An open damper might also make the room feel cooler, similar to the outdoor temperature, or cause your HVAC system to work harder than usual. For a more definitive test, you can try a visual inspection, although it may be difficult to see. Alternatively, you can light a small piece of paper and observe the smoke; if it is drawn up the chimney, the damper is open. Always use the damper handle to adjust its position.</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>

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: How far should an outdoor wood furnace be from the house?

• <div><p>Your state, city, or even homeowners insurance company may have requirements on how far the outdoor wood furnace should be from the house, so be sure to abide by those regulations. In general, you should install an outdoor wood furnace or boiler as few as 30 feet or as much as 500 feet from the house or any other building.</p></div>

Q: What is a pellet stove?

• <div><p>Pellet stoves are used as heat sources for homes. They work by burning biomass pallets, which might be composed of wood, sawdust, or food waste. The pellets are stored in the stove's hopper until the stove is ignited, at which point some are released into the stove's firebox to burn for heat. Unlike most fireplaces, pellet stoves have a thermostat that adjusts the temperature by releasing more or fewer pellets, depending on how warm you want to make your living space.</p></div>
