Q: Why doesn’t my chimney flue close?

• <div><p>If you haven&rsquo;t had your chimney cleaned in some time, soot and grime can build up, making it difficult for the lever to release to close the flue. When this happens, locate the lever and clean it thoroughly. If this doesn&rsquo;t help, consult with a fireplace repair pro to examine it for you.</p></div>

Q: How can you keep a house warm with single-pane windows?

• <div><p>Single-pane windows might let in the cold, but if you&rsquo;re not ready for a long-term solution or window replacement, there are quick fixes to keep your space warmer. Start by <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-winterize-your-windows-and-doors.htm">sealing gaps with weatherstripping</a> or caulking around the frame to block drafts. For an extra barrier, apply window insulation film to the glass, trapping an air pocket between the film and the window. Thick curtains or thermal drapes can also help keep the chill at bay. And if you&rsquo;re in a pinch and looking to get creative, bubble wrap can provide a surprisingly effective layer of insulation&mdash;just spritz the window with water and press it on, bubble side in. </p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between an outdoor wood furnace vs. an outdoor wood boiler?

• <div><p>The main difference between an outdoor wood furnace versus an outdoor wood boiler is what each appliance is heating. An outdoor wood furnace burns wood to create heat, which warms the air and moves it through the ducts in your home. An outdoor wood boiler uses the heat from burning wood to warm water, which goes through pipes to radiators in the home.</p></div>

Q: How long do chimney dampers last?

• <div><p>The lifespan of a chimney damper depends on several factors, including its material, how often the fireplace is used, and the amount of debris that enters the chimney. With proper maintenance, an average damper can last about 20 years. To ensure it is functioning correctly, it is best to have it professionally inspected. Some experts recommend an annual inspection, while others suggest having a chimney sweep inspect and clean it every two years. A professional can assess the damper's condition and determine if a replacement is necessary.</p></div>

Q: Should a chimney flue be open or closed?

• <div><p>The damper, located just above the firebox, can open or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-close-chimney-flue.htm">close the chimney flue</a>. The damper should remain closed unless there&rsquo;s a fire burning in the fireplace. Closing the damper prevents energy loss through the chimney and cold air from seeping into the home during the winter. Opening the damper helps maintain airflow when there is a fire and prevents smoke and gases from venting into the house.</p></div>

Express Sunrooms delivered on all their promises. They demolished our existing covered patio without requiring any out-of-pocket expenses from us, and we didn't have to pay until the job was completed to our satisfaction. We absolutely love our new covered patio and screen enclosure!

"I wasn’t sure what needed to be done at first, I thought there might be some serious repairs required because it had been a long time since any maintenance was done. Sam and his team were veryyyyyy incredibly professional and took the time to thoroughly inspect everything and explain the situation clearly. They didn’t try to upsell me or push unnecessary work, which I really appreciated. It turned out that all my chimney needed was a good cleaning, and they got it done efficiently and left everything neat and tidy. Their honesty, transparency, and quality service really stood out, and I feel confident knowing my chimney is in good shape now. Thanks a lot!!!"
