The way we handle damper installs in Lake Eola Heights

Details our Lake Eola Heights team explains on every top damper visit.

Rattling in the wind

A closed lid that knocks in the wind usually has too little tension on the cable or a worn gasket. The noise travels down the flue and is easy to hear in a quiet room.

We reset the tension, check the gasket and hinge and confirm the lid sits firmly when closed. It is typically a short adjustment rather than a new damper. If the hinge or frame has worn, we explain whether a part or a replacement is the better value.

Upfront pricing on the whole job

The price you approve covers the damper, the adhesive and hardware, the bracket, the roof work, the installation and the cleanup. Nothing is added after the fact without your agreement.

If something new turns up on the day, such as a cracked tile rim, we stop, show you and price it before continuing. You stay in control of the scope from start to finish. The price you approved is the price on the invoice unless you agreed to a change.

Homes with two fireplaces

Two fireplaces mean two flues, often in the same chimney. Each flue that suits a top damper needs its own, with its own cable and handle in its own firebox.

We check both flues and both fireboxes and quote each damper separately, so you can do one or both. The handles are set up the same way in each fireplace to keep things simple. If only one fireplace suits a top damper, the other gets its own recommendation.

A drier flue and throat area

Rain falling down an open flue lands on the smoke shelf, the throat and the firebox, where it can rust metal parts and wash soot into the room below.

Closing the lid keeps that water out between fires. Paired with a sound crown and cap, it leaves the flue, the old throat plate and the firebox drier for the months the fireplace sits idle. A drier throat also means the old damper frame, if it stays, rusts more slowly.

Top damper questions from Lake Eola Heights

Still deciding? These answers help, and the damper inspection in Lake Eola Heights is free.

Do I have to open the top damper every time?

Yes. The damper must be opened before every fire by releasing the handle so the lid lifts. We show you how to check that it is open before lighting.

Do you offer a warranty on top damper installation?

Our installation is covered by our workmanship warranty, with the terms in your estimate, and the damper carries the maker's own product warranty. Our 100% satisfaction guarantee applies as well.
