Chimney Damper Repair & Replacement in Connecticut

A working damper keeps warm air in and cold drafts out. A Class Chimney repairs and replaces throat and top-sealing chimney dampers across Connecticut.

Why It Matters

A Failing Damper Wastes Energy

Your chimney damper seals the flue when the fireplace is not in use. When it rusts, warps, or sticks, you lose heated and cooled air straight up the chimney — and your energy bills climb. A damaged damper also lets in drafts, rain, and odors.

We repair stuck and broken dampers and install modern top-sealing dampers that seal far better than a traditional throat damper.

Signs Your Damper Needs Service

Drafts even when the damper is closed, a damper that will not open or close, rust or debris in the firebox, or higher heating and cooling bills all point to a failing damper.

FAQ

Chimney Damper Questions

A damper is a movable plate that seals the flue when the fireplace is not in use, keeping conditioned air in and drafts, rain and animals out.
Common signs are drafts when the damper is closed, a plate that will not open or close, rust or corrosion, and rising energy bills.
A top-sealing (top-mount) damper installs at the top of the chimney and seals with a rubber gasket, giving a far tighter seal than a traditional throat damper — and it doubles as a rain and animal guard.
It depends on the damper type and size. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote after inspecting your chimney.
Keep it fully open whenever there is a fire and until the ashes are completely cold, then close it to stop heat loss when the fireplace is not in use.
