The way we handle damper installs in Wedgefield
Plain answers about top dampers in Wedgefield, from the crew that fits them.
Setting the clamp for a tight seal
The seal depends on how firmly the lid is pulled down. In the Lock-Top instructions, the adjustment clamp is slid up the cable to the bracket, the cable is pulled to close the damper, and the clamp is set for the tightest seal.
We set the tension, then check the closed lid from the roof to confirm it sits evenly on its gasket. Too little tension leaves gaps, while too much strains the parts, so the setting is checked rather than guessed. The clamp setting is noted, so a later adjustment starts from a known point.
Operating notes kept by the fireplace
We leave written operating notes that cover opening the damper before a fire, keeping it open until the ashes are cold and what to do if the lid will not move. They also list the checks to make after the fireplace has sat unused for a long stretch.
Keep them near the fireplace with the maker's paperwork. When the home changes hands or a guest stays over, the instructions are right there instead of in someone's memory. The notes are written for the damper you have, not copied from a generic sheet.
Workmanship warranty and the maker's warranty
Our installation work is covered by our workmanship warranty, with the terms written into your estimate. The damper itself carries the maker's product warranty on its own terms.
Some makers tie their warranty to installation steps, such as fitting a safety device. We follow those steps and leave the paperwork with you, so both warranties are easy to use if you ever need them. The warranty terms and the maker's paperwork go into the same folder as the operating notes.
Comparing top damper quotes
Ask each company which model they will fit, how they will mount it, where the handle will go, what happens to the old throat plate and whether a cap is included.
A lower price sometimes leaves out the cap, the safety device or the flue top preparation. Our estimate answers each of those questions in writing so the comparison is fair. If another quote includes something ours does not, ask us, and we will explain the difference plainly.
