If your home has a folding attic stair, a whole house fan or AC Return, a fireplace or a clothes dryer, that may be just what is occurring in your home every day.

Premium member Presentation Transcript Slide 1: Seal Fireplace Dampers With Weatherstrip Between Uses to Stop Drafts and Save Energy by Lowering Energy Bills Slide 2: When fireplaces are not being used, they should be sealed with weatherstrip to air seal the damper and prevent wasted energy. Just like doors and windows, fireplaces require weatherstripping to prevent energy loss. Slide 3: Fireplaces are the LARGEST unsealed opening in the home. Fireplaces cost US families over $6.1B (2005) of wasted energy. This is expected to be $10B by 2015. NUMEROUS STUDIES AND REFERENCES URGE FIREPLACES SHOULD BE SEALED BETWEEN USE Slide 4: Fireplace dampers ineffective Fireplace glass doors ineffective Study: 80% of dampers left open Scientific study – a home with a fireplace costs 30% more to heat than a home without. Slide 5: Single Family Dwelling Air Leakage by Type Per D.O.E. Fireplace=26% of air leakage!! Slide 6: Why do fireplaces lose energy? Air leaks Stack effect Duct leakage (pressure differential) Just like an open skylight, door or window! Slide 7: Not Just Heat Loss! Air conditioning losses also occur (infiltration, exfiltration) Slide 8: Energy Codes require all openings (doors, windows, attic access, etc.) to be sealed. Fireplaces are often overlooked Slide 9: Other unsealed fireplace damper concerns: Energy costs / Energy waste Air conditioning losses Downdrafts (Odors, toxins, IAQ) Noise (used for airport noise reduction programs) Insects Slide 10: Several solutions available: Top mount damper (expensive, poor ROI) Plug chimney from below (inexpensive, high ROI) Slide 11: Experts have studied this – a recent study showed that by sealing the fireplace, up to 30% less heating and cooling energy is required. An unsealed fireplace is like an open window! The Solution: Introducing…The Fireplace Plug! Slide 12: 2 sizes Rectangular fits most any masonry fireplace Round for zero-clearance fireplaces MADE IN U.S.A. Slide 13: INSTALLS BELOW DAMPER – QUICK, CLEAN, EASY Slide 15: RESEARCH DATA EXISTS SEVERAL STUDIES SHOW RESULTS Slide 16: A research study conducted in France found that during cold weather, fireplaces can allow 76 cfm of additional air leakage. The total increase in heating energy consumption is 3,500 kwhr/year. In addition, during summer months energy is lost due to cold air conditioning exiting up the chimney. Slide 17: Fireplace dampers are energy losers. One remarkable documentation of that fact is an Eight Home Study which shows that an open fireplace can significantly raise over-all heating energy consumption. Note 80% of dampers were found in the open position! Slide 18: Energy Use for Single Family Dwelling Space Heating/Cooling = 45% of energy use in the home Slide 19: BENEFITS OF SEALING THE FIREPLACE Save conservative average of about $300 per year in energy costs Stop drafts (windows, doors, downdrafts) Stop odors, toxins, asthma, IAQ Stop Noise, Insects Slide 20: FOR WEATHERIZATION EXPERTS Low Cost / High Return Easy, Quick and Clean to Install and Use Achieve target reduction in air leakage rate quickly, easily, and inexpensively. Scientific studies, numerous blower door test data, etc. Slide 21: ADD THE FIREPLACE PLUG TO YOUR WEATHERIZATION PROGRAM Included in the MA Wx Manual DOE Recommends to plug the fireplace Fireplace Plug is durable, low cost Buy direct from www.batticdoor.com 100% MADE IN U.S.A.! Slide 22: EVERY FIREPLACE SHOULD BE SEALED BETWEEN USE Slide 23: 2 MODELS Quick, Clean, and EASY to Install! 100% MADE IN U.S.A.!
