The way we handle damper installs in Fairvilla
Plain answers about top dampers in Fairvilla, from the crew that fits them.
How it differs from the damper at the throat
A throat damper is a metal plate just above the firebox that pivots open and shut. Cast-iron throat dampers close metal on metal, and as they warp and rust, small gaps open around the plate.
By contrast, a top-sealing damper closes the whole flue at its outlet on a gasket, and it also keeps rain and debris out of the flue above the throat. During the inspection we explain which of the two suits your fireplace, and we put the reasoning in writing so you can weigh it at your own pace. Many homes end up using both, with the old throat plate left open and the new top damper doing the sealing.
What happens to the existing cap
Many flues already have a cap, and a top damper may need it removed, changed or replaced by a combined unit. It depends on how the cap mounts and whether it leaves room for the lid to open.
We tell you in writing what happens to your current cap. If it can stay, that saves money. If it cannot, the removal and any new cap appear as their own lines, and the old cap is taken away. A cap that comes off in good condition can be left with you if you want it.
10% off work booked within 72 hours
Any service booked within 72 hours after your free inspection is 10% off, and a top damper installation counts. The discount appears on your written estimate so you can see it applied. Everyone who books in that window gets it, and no code or coupon is needed.
The inspection before it is free, so you decide with the scope and the price in hand. Mention the offer when you book. The offer applies whether the work is a new damper, a repair or another job the inspection turned up.
New owners and an unfamiliar damper
Buyers often find a chain or handle in the firebox and no idea what it does. It may belong to a top damper, a throat damper or nothing that still works.
Our free inspection identifies what you have and whether it seals. If it is a top damper, we show you how to use it, and if it no longer works, we explain the options for repair or replacement. The written operating notes we leave are useful for anyone else who moves into the home later.
