Traditional dampers are located in the "throat" of a fireplace. They are made of cast-iron and are housed in a low-tech frame work.

fireplace dampers
Cast-iron plate and frame do not seal tightly, allowing energy dollars to escape.

 

These cast-iron dampers do not seal well—they have a leaky, rough, metal-to-metal seal.
Recent lab studies have shown that even a new throat damper can leak up to $200 of heating and cooling a year. Imagine how much energy an old, rusted out damper leaks!

Lock-Top easily operates from inside your firebox and seals tight everytime you close it—eliminating any draft.

Do you still need more convincing that the Lock-Top Energy-Saving Damper is right for you? Here is a five minute video that demonstrates the differences we have stated above.

How to stop heat (and cool air in the summer) from leaking out of your 

fireplace chimneys?

Our Top Sealing Dampers.


 

Why use a damper?
  They are a great help to your keeping heating costs down and ensuring a safe, energy tight home!, be sure to check out all our damper options for your fireplaces !

There are plenty of affordable and efficient   new dampers available to homeowners today. We have found that many homes  have an old, warped and leaky throat damper. These are energy wasters, and they cost homeowners hundreds of dollars a year!

 These high-tech dampers could be offered to every chimney with a throat damper – even a new throat damper! Why? Because the new dampers, with superior designs and rubber seals, conserve energy as much as 90% better than a traditional throat damper.

Educating and offering you  these modern dampers is a win-win situation. We keep a happy satisfied customer , and you get the energy saving benefits that will save you money for years to come.

   
Damper Benefits
  • Quality stainless steel or cast aluminum
• Serves as a cap when it is closed - some have built-in caps!
• Saves heat from escaping out the roof's “big hole”
• Allows better flow for flue gases exiting the chimney
• Lifetime warranties
Caution :

Never use dampers on chimneys with gas logs. If the homeowner forgets to open the damper, the gas fumes are difficult to detect, and this could lead to Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Also, if a gas leak occurs, the gas could build up in the chimney, posing a dangerous risk.

Does Your Home Have An Uncapped Chimney?

If your answer is yes, you need a Gelco Chimney Top. Why? That's simple!
Your chimney is a hole in your roof!

An uncapped chimney:

  • Says "come on in, make yourself at home!" to nesting birds and animals.

  • Allows rain and snow to enter your chimney, which leads to moisture damage and expensive repairs.

  • Creates a fire hazard as burning embers and sparks escape through the open chimney and land on your roof or in your yard.

Protect Your Home with Durable Chimney Caps in Boston, MA

Your chimney works hard to keep your home safe and comfortable, but it needs protection too. A chimney cap is the first line of defense against rain, debris, and unwanted animals. At Boston Chimney Professionals, we install premium-grade chimney caps throughout Boston, MA, ensuring your fireplace and flue system remain safe, efficient, and long-lasting.

The Importance of Installing a Chimney Cap

Think of a chimney cap as a weatherproof shield for your chimney. Without it, rainwater can seep into the masonry, leading to cracks, rust, and expensive repairs. Leaves, twigs, and nesting animals can also block airflow, creating fire hazards and ventilation problems.

Our high-quality chimney caps and chimney covers keep these issues at bay by:

  • Preventing moisture damage and freeze-thaw deterioration
  • Blocking debris and small animals from entering the flue
  • Reducing downdrafts and improving airflow
  • Containing sparks and embers for added safety

Custom and Standard Chimney Covers for Every Home

At Boston Chimney Professionals, we offer both standard and custom-made chimney covers to fit any chimney design—residential or commercial. We proudly feature GELCO chimney tops in copper, stainless steel, and black powder-coated galvanized steel. These products are not only stylish but built to last, backed by superior, no-nonsense warranties.

Whether you need a single-flue cap, multi-flue cover, or a custom rain cap, our expert craftsmen fabricate and install each one with precision. If it’s not a standard fit, we’ll custom-build a chimney cover perfectly sized to your chimney’s specifications.

Energy-Efficient Lock-Top Dampers

Our energy-saving Lock-Top dampers combine the function of a chimney cap with the benefits of a tight-sealing damper. Acting like a thermos for your chimney, they help keep your heating and cooling dollars where they belong—inside your home. These dampers seal tightly, prevent downdrafts, and eliminate heat loss through your fireplace when not in use.

Lock-Top dampers are an ideal choice for homeowners looking to enhance comfort, reduce utility costs, and extend the life of their fireplace system.
