Chimney Dampers. Chimney dampers serve a useful purpose by acting as a doorway that opens and closes your chimney, and your house for that matter, to the outside elements. However most flue dampers that exist in traditional masonry fireplaces are made of cast iron and they aren't the greatest sealing devices.
A vent damper is an automatic devise that shuts off the flue pipe when the burner is not running. A vent damper has no effect on the running efficiency of the appliance. It only saves off-cycle losses of heated air. Therefore, if the appliance is in an unheated space, there is no benefit to a vent damper. A vent damper can achieve up to 10% annual fuel savings.
