A Lock-Top damper or energy-saving damper is a damper that is connected to the chimney system at the top of the flue. Like a throat damper, it has an easy-to-use cable for opening and closing the flue (donât worry â you wonât have to go up on the roof!), but unlike a throat damper, a Lock-Top damper provides an airtight seal.
A fireplace damper is important for several reasons. First, while the fireplace is not in use, the damper should be closed to prevent cold outside air from entering through the flue and into the house. This helps create energy efficiency. Second, the damper should be completely open while starting a fire to prevent smoke from filling the home.
