CHIMNEY SEAL
Available for free to all Victorians through the Victorians Energy Upgrades (VEU) program
Chimney Seal (Chimney Damper) is designed to block air from entering a chimney and prevents warm air from leaving the home in cold climates.
It also prevents hot air from entering and furthermore it retains the cooler air in warm climates.
Chimney Seal also reduces noise disturbances and stops debris from falling
down the chimney too.
Can be installed and removed very easily.

How Does Chimney Seal Help?
Chimneys used with open fireplaces are designed to extract air from the house, whether or not a fire is burning. This means that your chimney can let a lot of air in and out of your home. Blocking the chimney when it isn’t being used will reduce the movement of air up and down your chimney and improve the comfort of your home.
In cold climates, the damper is designed to block cold air from entering a chimney and prevents warm air from leaving the home. In warm climates, it prevents hot air from entering and retains cooler airconditioned air.
